10 years ago (1997):Rapid City, S.D., put an exclamation point on its Bismarck-Mandan trip.
The South Dakota Legion baseball power hammered Mandan, 27-1 in the first game and 26-6 in the second game. Rapid City pounded out a total of 38 hits in the two games after taking care of Bismarck twice.
Mandan got two home runs in the second game, one by Joe Schneider and a grand slam by Tyler Schafer.
In the first game, Josh Schaner started and was relieved by Andy Banning and Aaron Bunnell.
In the second game, Josh Mosser started and was relieved by Josh Leno and Tracy Geffre. Schneider finished with two runs batted in, while Schafer was 2-for-2.
20 years ago (1987): Cammy Brink has always made a mockery out of time. Like most sprinters do. Most of her life, she has made the stopwatch look silly, running faster than other kids on the block.
"She was every race up through junior high," her mother Connie says.
Then a month ago Cammy was running to reach the tape in the 100-meter finals at the state Class A track meet. Two weeks later, the 17-year-old Bismarck High junior was lying on a hospital bed in the intensive care unit at Medcenter One. She couldn't move.
In one frightening week, a virus known as Guillain-Barre syndrome attacked her nervouse system. In a matter of 72 hours, it shut down the muscles she had used to effortlessly run on the track. She was paralyzed from the neck down.
In one frightening week, the stopwatch just ... stopped.
"Everything happened so fast I really can't remember what I was thinking," Cammy says. "Everything just kind of went on around me."
The virus did its chores like a blue-collar worker.
It punched in on a Monday, first causing a headache, and completed the job by Friday, when Brink could only wiggle her fingers and toes.
"I bottomed out on Friday," Cammy says. "But it was a relief to find out what it was ... and find out it was 100 percent recoverable."
50 years ago (1957): BRANDON, Man. - The Bismarck Barons rested all alone atop the Man-dak League heap following a 10-4 victory over the Brandon Greys that featured the clutch hitting of Al Leap.
Leap drove in seven runs with a three-run homer, a bases-loaded double, and a sacrifice fly, carrying the offensive load for the Barons.
Gene Johnson had two hits and scored two runs, while Clyde McNeal scored three times and Len Van De Hey added two hits.
