The Pierre Governor softball team will look for a big upset this evening as the Govs take on the Brandon Valley Lynx in the Class AA SoDak 16 for a spot in this year’s state tournament.
The Governors are facing the Lynx for the second time this season after a 15-0 loss to Brandon Valley in the first meeting back on May 12, just two weeks ago in Brandon. In the game, Kennedy Fitts had four RBIs while Alexa Harms had three hits and Ava Groeneveld had a double and triple for the Lynx who had five extra base hits in the 13 in total. Ava Nelson doubled and Micah Buffalo had a hit for the only two hits in the game for Pierre. The Govs also had seven unearned runs as defense can play a big part of the ballgame for Pierre to try and pull off the upset. Pierre comes in at 5-13 and have lost 11 of the last 12 with a grueling end to the regular season. Meanwhile, Brandon Valley comes in at 14-4 having won four straight. It’s the 4-13 matchup as the winner will see the winner of Roosevelt and Sturgis in the first round of the Class AA state tournament.
First pitch for the SoDak 16 is scheduled for 6:00 at Aspen Park in Brandon.
