Post 8 Baseball Begins Season with Doubleheader in Brookings

The Post 8 Baseball season is set to get under way on Tuesday as the Eights will travel to Brookings. Post 8 will look to build off its third place finish in 2021.

Several faces return from the 2021 team that didn’t play high school baseball. Rising senior Jack Merkwan along with super seniors Aaron Booth, Bennett Dean and Isaac Polak will all return for the 2022 year. Post 8 in 2021 finished at 26-19 and lost to Renner both times in the state tournament going 2-2. Brian White returns as the manager for Pierre and he says he’s excited to get the season underway…

White is happy to have the super seniors back for one more season…

White says you have to pitch and play defense here in the opener…

First pitch of the doubleheader is scheduled for 5:00 at Bob Sheldon Field in Brookings. Coverage will begin at 4:40 on KCCR and on YouTube at KCCR Sports with Jon Winkler on the call.
