An American Legion Central Plains Regional Tournament game ended early Sunday in Dickinson, N.D., after Edina fell behind Omaha 25-1. The game was called after the seventh inning, in which Omaha scored 10 runs -- just as it had done in the third. Evan Ryan had four RBI for Omaha, and the win went to pitcher Taylor Elman, who struck out five.

Eden Prairie had beaten Edina 8-6 in a game that ended early Sunday and then was beaten by Dickinson 6-5 in 10 innings Sunday night.
