Dell Rapids/Baltic Baseball Picks Up Another Win

by

Dell Rapids/Baltic scored two runs in the first and held on to win 3-0 versus West Central at Humboldt May 2.

Tanner Solberg led off the game with a double and scored due to a throwing error on Spencer Kerzman’s sacrifice bunt. Matt Kolbeck doubled to the wall on the next pitch to score Kerzman and DR/Baltic led 2-0 four pitches into the game.

West Central tightened up its pitching and defense and only allowed two more hits in the game both in the fifth inning. DR/Baltic made the most of its opportunity when Joe Muston singled, stole second and scored on Solberg’s RBI single.

DR/Baltic was even stingier on defense. Cody Nielsen pitched the first five innings and allowed only one hit, a double by Joe Hanisch in the third. Nielsen struck out 10 and walked four. Mitch Roemen recorded the final six outs to earn a save. He walked one, struck out one and gave up no hits.

Dell Rapids/Baltic is 4-1 on the season. The final regular season games are scheduled for Wednesday, May 8 in Garretson and Friday, May 10 in Colton versus Tri-Valley.

South Dakota Magazine Features Dell Rapids Mudcats Manager

by

Amateur baseball is a summertime tradition in small towns across South Dakota, but many fans don’t realize the commitment it takes to make each game a reality. In the May/June 2013 issue of South Dakota Magazine, writer Mel Antonen introduces readers to six managers — including Dell Rapids’ Jim Wilber — who have devoted their lives to keeping baseball alive in their towns.

Antonen, a Lake Norden native and former amateur baseball player who covers Major League Baseball in Washington, D.C., explains the dedication each man has for the national pastime and why they refuse to see the sport fade away, even if it means sacrificing their own time and money.

Girls Golfers Hit Links in Vermillion

by

The Dell Rapids Quarrier girls golf team participated in the Vermillion Invite on Monday, April 29th, at The Bluffs Golf Course.  April Tomes, Natasha Reit, Aleza Kirschenmann, Sarah Haak, Courtney Sorsen, and Taylor Brown all participated for the Quarriers.  Dell Rapids shot a team score of 462.  Sioux Falls Christian finished first with a team score of 320.  Tomes finished with the best round for Dell Rapids with a 99.  Kirschenmann finished with a 104.  Both of those scores were personal bests.

Head coach Jeff Dvorak said, “We improved our team score by 20 strokes from our 1st meet, and two girls shot their personal best, so I was pleased with that.  We are still giving away too many strokes inside of 50 yards and on the green.  Hopefully, the weather cooperates and allows us some practice time, because I feel these girls would really improve with some hard work on the course.”

The next event is scheduled for Thursday, May 2, at the Sioux Falls Christian Invite.
