HURON, SD (HubCityRadio.com) – The Aberdeen Smittys hit the road down 281 on Tuesday evening and dropped a pair of games to Huron Post 7, losing game one, 4-1 & dropping game two, 18-8.
In the first game of two, the Smittys had a hard time getting out of the first inning without trailing. Post 7 put up all four of their runs for the game before an out was recorded. Joe Cogley got the nod on the hill and was unable to record an out; he surrendered two hits, four earned runs and walked three Post 7 batters before Head Coach Nathan Gonnelly went to the bullpen.
Jaxon Ladner came in for long form relief and did an excellent job over the next five innings; only scattering five hits, but didn’t surrender any runs and no walks & one strikeout.
Ridley Waldo went 2-3 with a pair of singles & an RBI single in the top of the fifth inning. Unfortunately for the Smittys, that’s the only offense they could muster for game one.
In the second game, the Smittys would strike first, taking a 1-0 lead into the bottom of the first inning and then Post 7 would respond with a three-spot to take an early 3-1 advantage. Aberdeen’s offense came back with a vengeance, they’d hit for four runs and a 5-3 lead, but again, Post 7 would respond. Huron responded with four runs of their own to lead 7-5.
The game went back and forth and eventually the game would be tied at eight, and then Post 7 ended the game on a 10-0 scoring run, for the 18-8 win.
Jaxon Ladner went 1-3 with a run scored and two runs batted in, to pace the Smittys offense. Grant Beyer also drove in a pair, going 1-3 with a run scored.
Aberdeen returns to the diamond on the road against Shakopee at 1:30p on Friday and then Brandon Valley Post 131 to follow at 4p.
