by Coach Brad Bittner

The 2008 Lisbon Babe Ruth baseball team out-scored their opponents 406 (7.5 runs per game) to 147 (2.7 runs for game) to put together a season with 45 wins and 8 losses.  Along the way, Lisbon captured titles in the Enderlin Tournament, Ellendale Tournament, regular Season League title.  Dickey-LaMoure Tournament, and the District 6 tournament, which sent Lisbon to state.  Lisbon took fifth place in the Valley City tournament and recently captured second place in this year’s State Babe Ruth Tournament.

* Lisbon shut out 17 of their opponents due to pitching and great defensive play.

* Special thanks to Brian and Sherri Lohse and the Rec board, fire department, parents, and grandparents for helping out throughout the year.
