Post 22 matched the hit production of Mitchell Saturday Night in the Pev
Evans Tournament but did not quite match their run production.
Although each team had 10 hits, it was the 9 free passes that Post
22 Pitchers allowed that may have been the deciding factor. The
bats for the home team were fairly active as Parker Sullivan, Kolton
Emery and Austin Wickham all had 2 hits on the evening. Wickham led the

Even though the trip was very successful for our hometown Post 22, they
still did not escape their pool. On the final day of pool play
Post 22 beat St Paul Hamlin 8-1 to finish their record at 3-1. The
first day loss to Rochester is what did them in as Rochester finished
pool play with a perfect record. According to Coach Ploof, the
trip was a huge success. Pitching was good as we outscored our
opponents 39-10 in the tournament. It was a good leaning
experience that will benefit the team down the line. Next up

| Two Wins on Saturday |
| Posted: July 11, 2010 |

Rapid City Post 22 came into Saturday needing a couple of wins to keep a quarterfinal berth within its reach. The Hardhats came out on fire, defeating St. Louis Park (Minn.) 14-0 in five innings, and then came back and edged out Kenosha WI 4-3 during the second day of the Gopher Classic American Legion tournament in Apple Valley, MN. Kolton Emery set the tone for the Hardhat offense, going 2-for-4 with three RBI. Austin Wickham drove in three runs, and Parker Sullivan, Jarrett Jensen and Taylor Muhlbeier all knocked in a pair of runs. Tyler Jones got the start, and he struck out eight batters and limited St. Louis Park to just two hits. “We got outstanding pitching by Tyler Jones in the first game,” Post 22 head coach Dave Ploof said. “He really had command of his pitches, and from the beginning to the end he looked sharp. We put up runs early and came out ready to play.” In the second contest, Donte Bledsoe was 2-for-3 with two RBI, and Jensen went 6-2/3 innings, scattering six hits to pick up the win. Thane Lees came in to get the final out and picked up the save. Post 22 will still probably need another victory this morning against St. Paul (Minn.) Hamline at 8:30 a.m in order to have a chance to advance to the quarterfinals. “It was big coming back, and it gives us an opportunity to play St. Paul and wait and see how Rochester and Apple Valley do,” Ploof said.

The weekend trip to Minnesota got off on a sour note, but Rapid City Post 22 battled back and split their two games Friday in the Gopher Classic American Legion tournament in Apple Valley (Minn.). The Hardhats (32-10) dropped the opener to the Rochester (Minn.) Patriots 4-2. Center fielder Parker Sullivan went 2-for-4 with a run, and Jake Bohne and Jarrett Jensen each drove in a run. Tanner Chleborad got the start, going the full seven innings while striking out five, but the Hardhat ace gave up three earned runs on seven Rochester hits. “In the first game, we just didn’t get after it, just kind of went through the motions,” Post 22 head coach Dave Ploof said. “And we came out No. 2 in a two-team race.” In the second game, Post 22 warmed up the bats to the tune of eleven runs on eleven hits. All nine players scored a run, and Jordan Carlson, Kolton Emery and Sullivan all had two hits, with Jensen and Carlson contributing two RBI apiece and Emery and Sullivan scoring twice. Emery got the win, getting four strike outs while holding the hometown Apple Valley offense to just two hits in an 11-3 win in five innings. “We bounced back after the first loss,” Ploof said. “Kolton Emery really pitched, and we had a lot of guys step up for the win. The whole team, they really hit the ball well up and down the lineup.” Post 22 will now have to win out to advance out of its pool into the quarterfinals. The Hardhats will take on St. Louis Park at noon Saturday, immediately followed by a matchup against Kenosha, WI., at 2:30 in Apple Valley. Quoted from Rapid City Journal Post 22 2 Rochester 4 |

the defending Wyoming state champs. Saturday's games were a good
test for the home squad but proved to be too much. Coach Dave
Ploof had some kind words for the visiting Post 6. " They're an
outstanding ballclub. They're undefeated so far, and they've been a
power in Wyoming for years. We weren't moving our feet, and we
looked like we were 40 years old." as quoted from the Rapid City
Journal. Kolton Emery started strong and struck out 10 in the
first contest but gave up some runs to fall behind. Sunday's game saw the hardhats get out hit by a strong Cheyenne lineup. Five players for Post 6 had two hits on the day. Cheyenne out hit Post 22 11-4. For the home team Kolton Emery homered in the 7th to account for his 2 RBI's. |

Another Road trip and another pair of wins for Post 22 Varsity.
The trip west to Gillette did not affect the hard hats as they took two
from the home team Sunday afternoon. The score in the first game
was 8-1. Tanner Chleborad threw 5 innings and had 7 strike outs in
his season debut. Thane Lees came in for two innings and notched 3
K's. Together the two performed well. Second game also saw a nice
run production with a 9-2 score. Dana Hill was the winner with 3
innings thrown. Taylor Mulbeier finished the game and added 8
strike outs. The pitching was again strong today as there were 22
total strikeouts recorded for the varsity pitchers. The bats woke
up a bit in Wyoming also as Parker Sullivan and Kolton Emery both had 4
hits on the day. Dante Bledsoe added two in the first game.
Coach Dave Ploof was pleased with his pitching performance and it was
good to see his hitters connect. Although the squad shows some
mental mistakes, Coach Ploof likes the progress and certainly the wins.
"We will take the two wins; we are not giving them back." GILLETTE STATS GAME 1 GILLETTE STATS GAME 2 |

| Post 22 finally opened its season Saturday afternoon in a chilly Sturgis. Post played a double header and began their season on a high note. Both games ended in shut outs. Kolton Emery's 11 Strike outs led the way in the first game. Kolton was replaced on the mound by Brad Horan who also had a nice outing. The second game ended early because of the pitching of Jarrett Jenson who threw a no hitter 5 inning game. According to head coach Dave Ploof there were many positives in the first outing. The first is of course the two wins. The other bright spot for his squad is the command of pitching. The three hurlers combined for a total of 23 strike outs. Although the squad left with a good couple of early season wins, there are some things that Coach Ploof thinks the team needs to work on. The most important is the focus of his players especially at the plate. The team needs to learn how to prepare and adjust to the pitching. Overall, the first chilly outing was very positive. |
