It’s the final doubleheader of the regular season and Pierre Post 8 will travel to face Brandon Valley with a chance to host in the playoffs if they can pick up at least a win.
Post 8 is sitting in the eighth spot in the South Dakota standings and would be hosting Brookings if the season ended today. However, Brookings will face Harrisburg on Friday in a doubleheader which has a lot of implications for Pierre to be able to host. If Pierre would win both games and Brookings sweeps Harrisburg, the Eights can move up another spot. If the Eights were to get swept, Harrisburg would need win one, if not sweep the doubleheader to keep Brookings below the Eights in the standings. But of course, Pierre controls its own destiny to host the first round playoff series with the games in front of them this afternoon. Brandon Valley is 11-5 in South Dakota games and will still play Huron on Friday to close the season. BV is currently fifth in the standings and will be hosting the first round playoff series next week.
Coverage of the doubleheader begins at 2:45 this afternoon with first pitch at 3:00 on KCCR and on YouTube at KCCR Sports with Jon Winkler on the call.
