After five games in three days for Pierre, the Eights will host Excelsior, Minnesota for a single game on Tuesday with first pitch at 5:30.
The Eights went 3-2 on the weekend and are 13-8 for the regular season with a busy week in front of them but only one day of South Dakota games. The Eights will face Huron on Wednesday before heading up to Minot, North Dakota over the weekend for another four games. The single game will help keep pitching available over this upcoming weekend.
Nathan Naasz, assistant coach for Post 8, says the Eights had the day off on Monday and it’s big for the kids to have a short break…
Naasz says the lineup may look more conventional tonight even though it’s not a South Dakota team but you may still see some changes throughout the ballgame…
And Naasz says the Eights need to continue to throw strikes…
The Eights and Excelsior will play a single game beginning at 5:30 at Hyde Stadium. Coverage will begin at 5:10 on KCCR, kccrradio.com and on YouTube at KCCR Sports with Jon Winkler and Greg Dean on the call.
