| Chleborad, Bohne Fire 1-Hit Gem--Post 22 Wins 9-0 |
| Posted: May 16, 2011 |
|
It was a story of night and day for
Rapid City Post 22 and Cheyenne Post 6 as they took the field Sunday
afternoon. After struggling at
the plate and on the mound the day before, Rapid City was able to pound
out 12 hits for nine runs, while pitching a solid one-hit shutout behind
ace Tanner Chleborad and reliever Jake Bohne.
On another chilly spring afternoon,
Chleborad struggled to find the zone, walking five, but was able to work
out of jams allowing one one runner past second in his three hitless
innings of work. First baseman Jake Bohne came into the game in the
fourth inning, already up six to nothing, and after allowing two early
base runners, including Cheyenne's first hit, settled in to retire his
final eleven hitters.
After being shut out the day before, Rapid City started early scoring
one run in both the second and third innings. Bohne would again prove
to be the sparkplug scoring the opening run of the game, and driving in
designated hitter Carter Wevik in the third.
The fourth inning proved to be the
deciding factor in the game as Rapid City sent ten hitters to the plate,
collecting four runs on three hits. With the bases loaded and nobody
out, left fielder Jacob James hit into a fielders choice at second, but
the throw would trickle away from the first baseman allowing Hunter
Jackson to score. James went 2-5 on the day with two runs scored and
two RBI's. Following a Wevik
walk, third baseman Jarrett Jensen smacked a single through the right
side scoring James to put the visitors up 5-0. Bohne would finish the
scoring with a bases loaded walk to collect his second RBI on the day.

With temperatures around the mid-thirties, Cheyenne
Post 6 jumped to an early 6-0 lead after two innings and coasted the
rest of the way, winning 6-0.
Post 6 starter Brandon Anderson took a no-hitter into
the fifth inning and was only tested once as he completed the shutout,
striking out five while allowing only four hits. The second inning proved to be no better when, with a
runner on first base, Cheyenne catcher Rafer Cooley hit a 400+ foot
homerun over the left-center field wall.
Cheyenne sent ten hitters to the plate in the inning, scoring
five, to end the day for Lees. Rapid City threatened in the fifth, when Jake Bohne and Newt Johnson would record the team’s first two hits. With runners on the corners and one out, Anderson was able to escape unharmed when right fielder Tanner Renner caught a line drive and fired a strike to home, to nail Bohne and end the inning. Third baseman Jarrett Jensen and designated hitter
Asau Rodriguez would record the other two hits for Rapid City on the
day. The two teams will meet again Sunday at 11:00 a.m. at Powers Field. |

After a long winter, I had forgotten how green grass can be. The
Field at Fitzgerald Stadium looked bright and green Friday night as the
hardhats took the field for the first of two. Errors cost the team
as they lost the first game 6-7. Post 22 led after 2 6-0 but could
not hang on, nor could they score any more runs. Leading 6-4 in
the 7th, the Billings team took advantage of some early season errors to
go up in the 7th and hold on for the win. 6-7 |
