Good Tuesday baseball

Pierre looked good against a fairly good Valley Springs team. Only 5 hits but when scoring chances presented themselves, Post 8 took advantage. Ryan Yackley did another nice job on the mound, just needs to cut down on the walks. Those things usually come back to haunt you.
And Sturgis was just not into it on Tuesday. Got outscored a combined 26-1 in the two games. Pierre didn't really smoke the ball when they got hits, but they got alot of help. Sturgis did not pitch their best pitcher either. He was at a wrestling camp and the Sturgis coach says he might be injured with a finger injury from wrestling. Not good when you are a pitcher. Sturgis is young. Eli Bueno is 19 and played with them for 4 years but after that they are dealing with 16 and 17 years old. No seniors on the team. They are now 8 and 19 and have lost 11 straight according to their coach.

I think things are looking good for Pierre when region tournament comes around. If you can win your first two games, your in the state tournament. We will get a first hand look at Spearfish on Monday. The only time Pierre plays them during the regular season. And they are hosting the region tournament. By the way, all games are geared towards later afternoon and night time, obviously for ticket selling purposes. 2 games the first, 3 the second and then 1 maybe 2 the final day. So Pierre will play 1 on July 22, 1 or 2 the second day and if they are in the third day, 1 or 2.
