Post 320 hammers Watertown

Assistant Coach Mitch Johnson congratulates Zach Cimburek after Cimburek's second home run of the game.    

    ABERDEEN -- Rapid City Post 320 took their hacks early and often en route to a 15-4 run-rule victory over Watertown in the first game of winner's bracket action on Thursday night. Each of Post 320's starters reached base at least twice in the victory, and only had one inning in which they did not have at least one runner reach base.
    Zach Cimburek started the and finished the offensive onslaught for Post 320, as he drove in the first three runs of the game with a home run to right-center field off of the scoreboard in the first inning, and followed that up with a grand slam home run over the 375' sign in right center in the seventh inning. Chris Lindemann added a two-run home run of his own in the sixth inning as Post 320 tallied fifteen hits in the game.
    Sean Holloway took control of the game on the mound for Post 320, allowing only one run in the first five innings of his start. Holloway only walked two batters in his outing, and only two extra base hits through all six innings.
    Post 320 advances to play the winner of the Mitchell/Sioux Falls West game tomorrow night at 7:30 P.M., while Watertown will play the host Aberdeen Smittys at 12:30 Thursday afternoon in a loser-out game.
