Baseball: Legion teams at Firecracker Tournament
The 4th of July is still a week away, but several U.P. American Legion Baseball teams are hoping to set off a few fireworks of their own this weekend in Wisconsin.
The annual Marinette Firecracker Tournament is underway. The Marquette Blues began the tournament with a 3-0 win over the Green Bay Blue Jays. Trevor Bratonia pitched a complete game for the Blues, allowing just two hits.
