The Pierre Trappers were unable to answer the eighth inning three run home run from the Wheat City Whiskey Jacks and fell 12-7 at home in the finale of a three game home set as the Whiskey Jacks took the series two games to one.
Pierre took a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the third inning from two passed balls and a wild pitch but it was then answered in the top of the fourth with another three runs from the Whiskey Jacks. The Trappers were able to then answer both times in the fifth and seventh scoring two runs to stay within reach but Jake Hjelli’s three run home was the sealing blow to the Trappers who fell in the series going 1-2.
Monterio May, manager of the Pierre Trappers, says the Whiskey Jacks were able to keep themselves at arm’s length in the ballgame…
The Trappers are sitting at 9-18 on the season but the first half of the season will end after Thursday’s game. May says it will be big to start back over after this final series…

The Trappers are off on Monday and will finish the first half of the season in Minot beginning Tuesday, through Thursday. All three games will have first pitch at 7:05.
