Letcher Hawks field American Legion baseball team for first time in decades

Letcher, South Dakota, has revived its American Legion baseball team for the first time since the early 1990s. The new Letcher Hawks, representing Letcher Post 93 and Woonsocket Post 29, began their inaugural season in 2026 and are currently 1-5. Their first win came against Wessington Springs on June 17, marking a significant milestone for the program. Community support and engagement are central to the team's activities, as many players have been part of the local baseball scene since 2022. The Hawks aim to build upon their early experiences as they progress through the season.
