Renner Wins First State American Legion Baseball Title

MITCHELL, SD… The Renner Royals needed only one win Tuesday at Cadwell Park in Mitchell to wrap up their first-ever state legion title. After a 4-hour rain delay, the first game remained scoreless into the 4th inning when the Royals got the bats going. Andy Moen got them on the board with an RBI single and the biggest hit of the night came from tournament MVP Mason Runia. With the bases loaded he ripped one to the wall scoring all 3 runs and the Royals scored 6 in their at-bat. They made it stand up for a 6-4 win as Rapid City Post 22 left the bases loaded after scoring one run in their final at-bat. Post 22 had won 5 of the last 6 state titles and 42 overall. The title was the first for Renner.
