Rapid City, SD – The Post 22 Hardhats 2025 squad delivered a decisive blow to their cross-town rivals, the Post 320 Stars, yesterday evening at Pete Lien Memorial Field, securing a resounding 16-1 victory. From the first inning onward, the Hardhats proved to be the dominant force, leaving the Stars struggling to keep pace.
“I was really pleased how focused and locked in we were tonight in all areas of the game.” said head coach Kelvin Tore after the game. “Offensively, you know, we scored 16 runs… Ryan Neugebauer(piticher) gave up three hits and one run… his fastball had life. He threw his breaking ball for strikes… I thought he did really well. Defensively we didn’t make any errors. I was really pleased with how focused we were throughout the whole game because I was a little concerned going into the game. It was 8 days or 10 days since we played last and we had a couple of bad unfocused practices last week, but when the bell rang tonight, we came out and played post 22 baseball. So that was really gratifying see.”
