PIERRE – A wild pitch by Sioux Falls West’s Jacob Mongar scored Cade Kaiser with the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning Friday as the Post 8 Juniors won 4-3 in the first round of the Junior Class A Legion State Tournament at Hyde Stadium.
Kaiser walked to begin the winning rally, stole second, then scored all the way from second on the wild pitch. Earlier, Kaiser had an RBI single. Matt Brewer also drew a bases-loaded walk to drive in a run.
Jackson Edman pitched a perfect seventh inning for the win. Jett Zabel worked the first six innings, allowing three runs, three hits, six strikeouts and four walks.
The Junior Eights will play the Rapid City Post 22 Expos in the final game of the day Saturday at Hyde Stadium in a winner’s bracket game at approximately 7:00 PM.
