Biggest storm in South Dakota history hit the park in Humboldt yesterday, with Jays crushing Renner 14-2. Joey Fitz hit two bombs and we bribed him with a free slice of pizza and beer for every K he got in the game.
He ended with 9. Trey Buckenbeeg closed his eyes and hit the ball off the fence 2 times! Jack Sparo tried stealing second, but was not successful and got thrown out by 10 feet.
2nd game Jays took on the Humboldt team (can’t remember mascot, too many teams over there) and won 6-3. We had a stellar performance from Labrie, new lefty on the team, looking like Jon Rocker striking people out left and right. Again can’t remember how many because Brady Debates was in charge of book and didn’t record a thing.
Labrie was pulled in the 4th inning due to blisters on the toes from new shoes, so we brought in the knuckler Ryan Patrick. He wasn’t throwing balls past people, but he was making that ball dance disco style. Next game is against the Parkston Mudcats on Sunday the 29th. We take on former all-time great, Dan Bonte and his posse!
