Post 8 Baseball has upped its winning streak to seven with a 5-4 walk-off win over Aberdeen and 8-0 shutout over Sturgis on Tuesday at Hyde Stadium.
Aberdeen jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead in the first inning but the Smittys would allow the Eights to return the three runs off of an error in the bottom half of the inning. Aberdeen would reclaim the lead in the top of the third off starter Elliot Leif but Jayden Wiebe and Brady Getz held down the Smittys in the final four innings as each allowed a hit and three strikeouts in two innings apiece. Post 8 would open the seventh inning with a walk by Jack Van Camp, a single by Aaron Booth, a bunt single by Brecken Krueger and with one out, Wiebe came to the plate to be the hero…
The streak has reached seven as Isaac Polak dazzled again on the mound with a complete game, 75 pitch shutout of Sturgis. Polak allowed just two hits, one man to reach on an error and did not walk or hit a batter the entire way. He threw five, one-two-three innings in the win for Pierre as they are now 9-5 on the season. Gary Nedved drove in two runs in the second game win as Pierre out hit the Titans 10-2.
Assistant Coach, Nathan Naasz says in game one, a win is a win…
Naasz says you can’t say enough good things about Polak and his pitching…
