NORTHWOODS LEAGUE
The Brainerd Lakes Area Lunkers announced Wednesday that Ryan Levendoski will return as field manager for the Lunkers 2010 season.
It will be Levendoski's fourth season in the league, his second as the Lunkers' field manager.
"I am thrilled about the opportunity to return to the lakes area for the 2010 season," Levendoski said in a news release. "The Lunkers are a great organization with dedicated fans in a beautiful part of the state and I am really looking forward to building on what we started in the summer of 2009."
His passion for the game and dedication to the team last season made owner/general manager Joel Sutherland's decision to bring him back an easy one.
