It was a split for the Aurora Post 42 Pinnacle Bank Seniors team in a double-header last week.  After losing both games of a double-header to Gibbon/Shelton back on June 16, Aurora was victorious in one of two games played July 5 from Mitchell Field.

Honestly, I’m just not quite sure what to make of the NCAA’s new Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) guidelines. It’s all coming at me way too fast. On one hand, you have Nebraska’s Adrian Martinez inking a deal with Degree Deodorant, Lexi Sun clothing website going live at 12:01 a.m.

An early lead turned sour for the Aurora Cooperative Post 42 Juniors squad.  St. Paul scored nine unanswered runs to rally and defeat Aurora 11-3 Sunday from Mitchell Field.  Despite that, though, it was Aurora that held the early lead thanks to a couple runs in the first inning.

Things had dampened a bit for the home Aurora Pinnacle Bank Post 42 Seniors team before the skies actually did the same.  A solid starting pitching effort from Cauy Walters wasn’t enough as St. Paul rallied for a 13-6 win Sunday at Mitchell Field.

I’m not sure why I was so nervous pulling up to Aurora’s beautiful new football turf last week.  The moment had to be not only a special one, but perfect, too. Just like all the moments the duo has provided all of us in the past.
