BRANDON – Maguire Raske and Aaron Booth combined on a four-hit shutout and 15 strikeouts Sunday as Post 8 remained in the Class A Legion State Tournament with a 6-0 win over Harrisburg at Aspen Park.
Raske gave up just three hits in five and two-thirds innings and struck out 12 for Post 8 (26-18). Booth worked the last inning and two-thirds, giving up just one hit and striking out three.
Post 8 tallied three first-inning runs on an error, an RBI single by Andy Gordon and a passed ball. The Eights then scored three more in the fourth on a two-run double by Lincoln Kienholz and a passed ball.
Post 8 will play the Renner Royals on Monday evening, and a win would put the Eights into Tuesday’s championship round.
