  • Twins vs Yankees: Ober vs Fried Showdown | Duluth News

    Twins aim to bounce back from Game 1 loss against the Yankees, who’re celebrating their playoff berth—maybe a bit sluggish. Bailey Ober, with a 5-0 record and 4.28 ERA, must pitch deep to rest the bullpen, facing Max Fried (4-4, 2.73 ERA) who’s battled elbow issues but owns a strong history vs. the Twins. Key matchups: Aaron Judge vs. Ober—Judge’s back after injury, dangerous in one swing; Josh Bell vs. Fried—Bell’s got a track record against him. Twins need offense to ignite, especially in the middle of the order, as they look to even the series at Target Field. First pitch: 6:40 PM CT.

  • Mental Illness Verdict in Grocery Store Tragedy | Duluth News

    A Minneapolis judge has ruled Taylor Schulz not guilty by reason of mental illness in the brutal December attack that killed beloved grocery clerk Robert Skafte — a man celebrated as a dancer, gardener, and compassionate community pillar. Though Schulz’s violent assault, captured on surveillance footage, is undisputed, experts found he was severely mentally ill at the time and lacked understanding of his actions. The verdict doesn’t absolve him of the crime — it acknowledges his diminished capacity. Schulz will remain indefinitely in a secure psychiatric facility, unable to be released like a convicted criminal would be. For Skafte’s family and community, the loss remains raw, even as justice acknowledges the depths of Schulz’s mental state.
