The Garretson 12U baseball team competed in the Brandon Valley Ball Association baseball tournament on July 10th, 11th, and 12th. The boys defeated teams from Sioux Falls, Brandon Valley, and Flandreau to advance to the championship game. In the championship game, the boys lost to a very good Brookings team to take second place in the tournament. It was a good weekend on the diamond for the boys and the team played exceptionally well!
A special thank you goes out to Greg Erickson: American Landscapes, Nick Schotzko: Palisades Chiropractic, and Kevin Jessen: Beaver Creek Bulldogs for sponsoring the team’s entry fee to the tournament. Also, thanks to Mike Decker: Crete Pros for sponsoring the team.
