A 10 run second inning by Rapid City Post 22 was to much to overcome for the Pierre Post 8 American Legion baseball team as Post 22 won another Region 3A championship with a 17-7 win in the title game called after 8 innings due to the 10 run mercy rule. Nolan Merrill took the loss allowing 9 runs on 10 hits and did not get out of the second inning. Jarred Nielan led the Post 8 offensive attack again with 3 hits out of the leadoff spot. Pierre still qualifies for the State American Legion Championship tournament that begins Wednesday in Yankton. Pierre will open the tournament at 10 am against Sioux Falls East, a team that Pierre beat earlier this season in the Lewis and Clark Wood Bat Classic in Yankton. Pierre is 28 and 24 on the season. Sioux Falls East won the Region 2A tournament. The other pairings for the first day of the tournament have Brookings taking on the still to be determined Class B champion. Watertown will face Sioux Falls West and Rapid City Post 22, the defending state champions, will take on the host team Yankton in the final game of the first day of the double elimination tournament.
The Pierre 15-16 White Teener baseball team split a doubleheader with Huron last night. The Whites won the first game 9-4 picking up their second straight win in league play. Huron won the nightcap 6-5. Alec Norwick was the winning pitcher in the opener limiting Huron to just 3 hits. Pierre was also assisted by 7 Huron errors. Pierre had 12 hits in the opener with Shay Reinke and Ben Liedholt each getting 3 hits apeice. In the nightcap, Huron scored the winning run in the bottom of the fifth inning off of losing pitcher Ben Liedholt. Pierre had only 4 hits in the nightcap with 4 different players getting them.
