Kicking off July, Pierre Post 8 will be home for just the second time all summer as they host Sioux Falls Post 15 West in a doubleheader, the first since last week Sunday, June 22.
Pierre dropped its doubleheader against Harrisburg on Sunday in 13-3 and 9-8 losses falling to 4-7 in South Dakota games and 8-9 overall so far on the summer. Pierre did not play last week against Sturgis on the road or against Box Elder at home. Pierre had another game canceled against Sturgis resulting in losing two home doubleheaders in the summer. The Eights will be able to host West, Rapid City Post 320 and Watertown over the next two weeks. West is coming in after a tournament over the weekend, but played Aberdeen last week Tuesday in its latest South Dakota games splitting the doubleheader with the Smittys. It was just the first win of the season for Aberdeen in South Dakota games at 1-16. West is 4-9 in South Dakota games, behind Post 8 in the standings.
Coverage of the doubleheader begins at 4:45 with first pitch at 5:00 on KCCR and on YouTube at KCCR Sports with Dylan Simmons on the call.
