The Pierre 13-14 Teener baseball doubleheader scheduled for yesterday at Hyde Stadium had to be cancelled due to the late afternoon thunderstorm that moved through the area yesterday. The 1/2 inch or so of rain that fell in a short time left the field unplayable. No make up date has been set.

The Pierre 15-16 White Teener baseball team lost both ends of a doubleheader to Mitchell yesterday in Mitchell. Pierre dropped the opener of the doubleheader 8-7 as Mitchell scored in the bottom of the 7th. In the nightcap, Mitchell prevailed 14-4. The loss in the opening game of the doubleheader counts in the league standings leaving Pierre White 0 and 4 in the league.

The Pierre Rattlers amatuer baseball team will not be traveling to Huron for their scheduled game tonight. Huron did not come to Pierre last month when the two teams were first scheduled to play, so Pierre will not make the return trip to Huron. The Rattlers, who are 3 and 7 on the season had have a number of games cancelled during the first month of the season. They were scheduled to go to Chamberlain on Sunday afternoon and then travel to Winner for a Sunday night game. The Chamberlain game scheduled in Pierre last week was cancelled due to rain and field conditions and head coach Tyson Lindekugel says that the Rattlers trip to Chamberlain on Sunday is off now as well so the only game this weekend will be Sunday night at Winner.
