85 teams from across the Peace Garden State are competing here in the 2023 North Dakota Junior Olympic Fastpitch State Tournament through Sunday. Squads range from 10U to 18U, and all groups in between, as they attempt to win the double elimination brackets. A strong finish might even catapult teams to the national tournament, as teams must compete in a state tournament in order to advance. The games are being played at both the newly renovated Scheels Complex and the Sertoma Sports Complex, located by the airport. On this page are a number of images from the first day of competition.
