The Pierre Post 8 American Legion baseball swept a doubleheader from Mandan, N.D. last night winning 8-4 and 11-5 in a game called after 5 innings due to weather conditions. In the opener, Scott Cichos went the distance scattering 9 hits while striking out 4. Pierre's 4 run 6th inning proved to be the big inning of the game. Tyler Ness and Garrett Weber each had 2 hits in game 1 while Nolan Merrill and Adam Deneke each had a pair of RBI's. In the nightcap, Pierre pulled away scoring 5 runs in the 4th and 3 in the 5th inning. Merrill led the way with 3 hits and 3 RBI's. Ness also had 3 hits and Deneke had 4 RBI's in the game. Jordan Smith went the full 5 innings in picking up the win on the mound. With the sweep, Pierre improves to 9-7 on the season. Pierre plays Bismarck in a doubleheader tonight in Bismarck.
