The Hutchinson Legion team has participated in the Mudhen Invitational Tournament ten of its 11 year existence.  Only in 2006 were they unable to attend.  Some of those teams were very competitive and others struggled just to field a full squad.  In 2013 though, the Tigers came to Bird Island ready to compete with the best the tournament had to offer.  After defeating New London-Spicer 5-0 on Friday and Ham Lake 6-1 on Saturday, they were pitted against West St. Paul in the championship game Sunday afternoon.  In a well played game on both sides, they prevailed 7-4 to win the title.

This years tournament featured what would be considered the most balanced field in recent memory.  Other than NLS's 11-3 victory over Litchfield in the 3rd place game, no game was decided by more than 5 runs.  The 2013 tournament also featured the smallest field in several years with only six teams.  BOLD (A champion) and Watertown (AA 4th place) each dropped out after qualifying for the State High School tournament.  Attempts to replace the two teams were unsuccessful.
