Daniels | Welcome to the show, Dylan Dodd

Apr. 4—BISMARCK — Karson Stevenson will probably feel like many baseball fans in east central Illinois on Tuesday night.

The Bismarck-Henning/Rossville-Alvin junior roots for the St. Louis Cardinals. And supports Dylan Dodd.

It's a win-win situation for the Dodd family, Stevenson, his Blue Devils teammates and all of east central Illinois on Tuesday night.

That's when Dodd, a 24-year-old left-handed pitcher and 2016 graduate of Bismarck-Henning, is set to make his Major League Baseball debut as the starting pitcher for the Atlanta Braves.

He'll have to slow down a Cardinals' lineup chock full of reigning NL MVP Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado, Willson Contreras and others.
