The Perham Buzz American Legion team is getting hot at the right time. Since dropping to .500 (7-7) on July 6, the Buzz have gone 10-3, including winning four of five games last week.
Perham began their final stretch with a 12-8 win at Frazee last Wednesday. They followed that up with a doubleheader sweep against Fergus Falls on Thursday.
The Buzz took game one, 3-1. Herschel Masinas broke up a 1-1 tie with a two-run hit in the bottom of the fifth. That allowed Philip Moenkedick, who struck out eight batters, to pick up a win.

The Buzz (17-10) will host Detroit Lakes today (July 26) in a doubleheader at Krueger Field. It will be the last regular season game before the District Tournament in Roseau Aug. 2-5.
