RAPID CITY – Post 8 in general and Garrett Stout in particular were dominant Sunday in a 10-0 win over Mitchell at Pete Lien Field. Post 8 finished 4-2 at the Veterans’ Classic.
Stout pitched a two-hit shutout with nine strikeouts and ended the game in the fifth by run-rule with a two-run homer. Stout drove in three for the game.
The Eights erupted for their first five runs in the second. Jack Van Camp, AJ Goeden and Stout had RBI singles before Goeden stole home. Andrew Coverdale’s RBI single brought in the fifth run.
Goeden drove in a run with a groundout in the third and Andy Gordon had an RBI double in the fourth. An error scored Post 8’s eighth run in the fifth before Stout’s homer.
