Minot sweeps Jamestown in Legion baseball doubleheader at Jack Brown Stadium

Minot wasted no time opening up the first game at Jack Brown Stadium, scoring four runs in the first inning and never giving Jamestown much room to recover. The Vistas finished with six extra-base hits in the opener, including home runs by Remington Anderson and Brody Mueller, then carried that same pressure into a 6-1 win to complete the sweep on Thursday night in Legion baseball.

For Jamestown, the losses were more than just two marks in the standings. They showed how quickly a game can slip away when the Eagles fall behind early, especially at home in front of a summer crowd that treats Legion baseball as part of the city’s seasonal rhythm. Minot’s 11-4 and 6-1 wins left Jamestown looking for cleaner pitching starts and sharper defensive execution before the schedule tightens further.

The sweep also widened a familiar gap in this matchup. Minot swept Jamestown 8-6 and 10-8 in a doubleheader at Corbett Field in 2025, and the Vistas also took both games at Jack Brown Stadium in 2024, winning 4-1 and 4-0. This year’s results extended that pattern, with Minot again doing damage early and controlling both ends of the twinbill.

The timing mattered for Jamestown, which entered the night with a 10-16 overall record and an 8-12 mark in conference play, according to WDA Sports, with Tim Ranum listed as head coach. Jack Brown Stadium is the Eagles’ home field, and it has already served as a focal point for the city’s summer baseball calendar, including Jamestown Area Youth Baseball’s fourth annual Opening Day celebration on June 3.

The Eagles were also in the middle of a busy early-summer stretch. Their travel schedule listed Minot at Jack Brown Stadium on June 18, followed by a road game at a tournament in Marshall, Minnesota, on June 19. That kind of run leaves little margin for the sort of first-inning damage Minot delivered, and the Vistas’ power made sure Jamestown spent most of the night playing catch-up.
