Broadcaster: Oliver Fell
hello and welcome to yet another presentation of hard ATS TV today the post 22 hard hats are going to play a rematch game at home here against the Gillette riders coming into this game the hard hats have an eight and six record and have won four of their last five Gillette on a little bit more of a skid but are still an impressive 19 and five earlier this season these two teams faced off in Gillette and the riters came out Victorious 5-2 both teams filled with plenty of talent we’ll see how it goes so let me give you the lineups here today for both teams starting off with Gillette riders or Gillette post 42 Riders leading off for them is shortstop Seth Peterson then he’s followed by third baseman Dominic Hecker at the two catcher Riley Schilling will bat third center fielder Mason

catcher Philip B second baseman Dawson inhofer and shortstop Wilson kefir with the starting pitcher being Hayden Lighty lighty’s been great lately since coming back so there we go thank you all for tuning in to this presentation of hard hats TV hard Hat’s going to be wearing their usually Sunday Best But I didn’t wear them this Sunday so you know get them out as much as you can the powder blues um one of their better looks Gillette kind of faked me out they had they had red ones on earlier and they switched them and now they are gray with red lettering so there you go [Music] this will be a nine inning contest for the record I have that in the description but nine innings assuming there is no mercy rule which I feel like is a very confident assumption since the last one went 5 to2 in favor of Gillette and now they have to come out to post 22 territory and do it Gillette greatly improved from last season at least the last time we saw them ended up uh when they played last year post 22 went out to Gillette beat him 15 nothing and then they had a run while hosting the Northwestern Legion Regional made it all the way to the last day out of nowhere and then um returned a lot of people this year brought in I mean have a lot of star power brought up some good players and now they’re 19 and and six so it should be good hard hats eight and six hoping to get a get the better of these riders in the [Applause] rematch by [Music] Roberts third first all right going through the lineups here [Music] Remer Hayden Lighty going to be on the mound today for the hard hats Kelby Foss on the mound for [Music] Gillette it’s a fine afternoon here you’ll see that shadow gradually move across the diamond today give it a slightly wider view for everybody so that we can see the plays left and right of the um of the base lines this also means you might be able to see a coach tvy or Ying highlight if something is hit their way they may be in frame and make even catch that so some extra content for you [Music] [Applause] there so we’ll get a national anthem here I believe J the on the field ask you are able to stand please do and face the flag as we America by Sher [Music] [Music] [Music] and [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] [Applause] that was a particularly good national anthem rendition I would say and now we’re going to get started top of the first inning coming up here the do up for Gillette post 42 Riders going to be short stop Seth Peterson third baseman Dominic Hecker and the catcher Riley Schilling I’ll give you a little fun facts about most of these Gillette people as we go by unfortunately we missed out on two games yesterday due to wet conditions up in Spearfish so those will be postponed and rescheduled to a later date luckily you know it happened in a place that wasn’t that far away still West River so it’s a lot easier to make up than if you were to have to travel you know or had started traveling and have to come back or whatnot for something pretty far and first all right Hayden Lighty on the mound he’s been pretty great lately honestly had a four um or pitched five shutout Innings or no four and 2/3 shutout Innings against Watertown in the game two of that Series this last weekend um that’s basically what I’m basing it off of um he had only pitched one in a third inning before that but against a very good Watertown team he was able to keep them quiet he’s now going to take on a very tough Gillette team as well probably slightly stronger than that Watertown team though as with all of it you know depending on pitching and who’s healthy and whatnot all right so dressed up in their gray with some faint red pin stripes Gillette going to come up to the plate um leading off for them the short stop Seth Peterson all right Lighty the first pitch delivered for a strike they call it it might have been a little outside but we’ll we’ll count it so 01 for Lighty The Rock You delivers in the dirt that’ll be a no contest ball there first pitch exactly 530 right on schedule the delivery another one outside B will handle it Benson Lighty a heck of a power battery two1 fouled off and that one will go back into the into the uh or against the batting cages behind home plate and it’s two2 vent sets up and that is hit high and to center field coming in after it Morgan makes the catch for out number one so Lighty able to retire Peterson for the first bat um first out of the game and it’ll bring up Dominic Hecker something to note about Hecker he is committed to Olympic College a Jo in Bremerton Washington for baseball so he’s going to be a Joo baseball player Junior College hello Liam nice to see you that one lined and just over the glove of Wilson kefir for a single kefir put everything he had into it all of that basketball um that basketball vertical he has and judging by that bet he can dunk that is a a solid uh effort but a single for Hecker and now it’ll bring up Riley Shilling Shilling going to sue falls in the fall committed to the University of sou Falls man on first don’t want to run on B curveball in the dirt ball one this is a nine inning game this is the Standalone game of this we did last time when the hard hats went out to Gillette it was a nine inning as well so this will be a nine inning game that changes the strategy somewhat one out hey fast ball grounded back up the middle hops over to short ke forets it steps on it throws to First in time and that’ll be a double play to end the top of the first so nobody scores for Gillette Riley Schilling hits into a 6-3 double play and so yeah that’ll do it for the inning for Gillette in that one one hit no runs no earned runs no hard hat ears nobody left on base and it remains z z hard Hat’s going to get their turn to responded possibly and I’ll just put this in the chat so that new people coming in can understand it and see that without me having to you know say it again so yeah nine and in game today when it’s a a standalone game like this where no other games are being played on either side of the day it makes sense to just do nine don’t play a lot of n in games but we’re doing so today so expect some relievers in the mix for both teams this is this is um Kelby Foss on the mound for Gillette Foss not the kind you would expect for a pitcher but he is a high school Sprinter at um Thunder Bas in high school in jillette does the 55 meter and the 200 meter so as we get ready the do up for the hard hats third baseman Aiden Roberts center fielder Jace Morgan and first baseman Alex Dietrich last time these guys played Roberts had two of the five hits on the game for the hard hats and scored an [Applause] RBI so there we go all right bottom of the first Foss getting ready to deliver the first pitch of the game smacked over to third he slips a little and throw to first in time on the money out number one is recorded that’s the second consecutive game that I’ve seen Aiden Roberts slip coming out of the box on the first pitch or on the first hit um he puts in play just kind of an interesting Trend so 5-3 put out will be the first out for Gillette it’ll bring up jce Morgan Morgan the Lefty had a great outing last game against Watertown he was actually our star of the series um for the Watertown series he only played two games Carter Johnson was a center fielder for the other one but in those two games he hit over five or he hit uh Ops of 1.55 six hit his first Homer of his career and had a three hit game that one is going to be laced into Center first pitch swung on and hit out there for the hard hats so it’s actually a pretty much Identical start for except for it’s a fly out you know it was a ground out not a fly out pretty much Identical start for both teams here and now he’s got to Hope D doesn’t head into a double play jce Morgan got plenty of speed and his bright blue batters mitt that one reached on and swung deep into left Center it’ll drop rounding second heading for third is going to be Morgan and he’s coming home the throw is not in time a good throw from the center fielder Dr droo but it did not matter hard hats on the board RBI double from Alex Dietrich it’ll bring up Hayden holik who has plenty of juice in his Bat as well holic went 0 for four in the game against Gillette earlier this year probably trying to get a little Revenge here off Foss Dietrich in scoring position still one out in the inning Foss gives him one swung on in lined into left it’ll get down Dietrich G to hold up and that’ll be a single so three consecutive hits for the hard hats reminder in the game in Gillette they had just five total and only scored two total runs they’re currently on three hits and one run and we only have one out in this game we’re only 127th of the way through this thing so hollik not exactly a stolen base threat that needs to be worried about too much but he can round the bases pretty well and Aaron roach up he likewise went 0 and four in Gillette at the strike delivered on the outside of the plate F not exactly bringing the the heat um in terms of velocity right now see plenty of Expos and Cadets watching from the stands throw back to First not in time holic apparently spooking them a little runers on the Corners one out bottom of the first inning Aaron roach up to bat Foss delivers swung on and softly hit to the left Center that’ll drop one more run will score the fourth hit in a row for these post 22 hard hats two on now still one out the hard hats scored as many as they did in nine innings their last time against this team roach and hollik both able to get their revenge on a first swing and will bring up take Crossway the big hard-hitting Lefty meanwhile catcher Riley Schilling going to have a quick shot quick chat with Kelby Foss uh at the mount trying to remedy whatever is going on with his stuff so two man on one out here in the bottom of the first F gives him one hit foul but hard so that’ll be the first swing without a hit in this game or second swing without a hit in this game Aiden Roberts ground out almost forgot but all right 01 count now here for Tate he had a pretty good series last time both defensively and offensively against Watertown this weekend oh one Bunch shown just got a piece of it right into the glove of the catcher so now it’s [Music] 02 if T gets a hold of one that thing can leave the yard he has not had a home run this year but it’s increasingly likely it feels that it’ll happen one of these days Foss delivers hit hard and foul bending first Baseline and out of play so remains o02 he’ll fight it off live to see another pitch pause checking the runner deep breath delivers at the knees but low not high enough take Crossway to last for for another one two one two swung on and hit hard down the line but foul just barely foul that was a blistered ball in deep right field went about 3 feet wide of the chalk so one two Foss trying to give him something he can’t get a piece of he just got a piece of it and in and out of the glove of Shilling he will survive not going to be a foul tip strike three he’ll get another pitch that is four foul ball so far in this at bat time called by Tate fos taking a little too long for his liking one two the at back continues F now ready no going to check back in big wind up that one is going to be flared into left and going back and he makes the grab so left fielder makes the grab and going to third he will be safe as take Cross or sorry Hayden holik so a fly out to Riley Hawk will move take cross weight or we’ll move um Hayden holik over to [Music] third that one had some serious potential but it felt like as it left the bad it kind of spun a little too much or something it did that thing where you like try to throw a paper airplane that doesn’t have the that isn’t bent right so it just kind of absorbs the wind instead of flying through it you hear what I’m saying probably not all right Runners on the corners two outs now here in the bottom of the first up to bat first AB Phil Philip B he’s looking Twitchy as always takes one in the dirt roach will stay he does have the speed to go if it were to get by the catcher Ayden holik lining up way outside the third Bas line here not really sure the strategy behind that taken just a little outside good job from bence to discern that one was an impostor so two well swing and a miss Strike One V a little too eager on that pitch swung through it before it got there so 2-1 roach could almost certainly score on an extra base hit here Foss gives him one and it’ll plunk Philip B on the side Bas is now loaded thing is about a nine inning game it’s a lot harder to um it’s a lot harder to pull a pitcher at the beginning of a n in in game um because then you got to do relief game for like the rest of it and that’s a lot so Dawson inhofer who had a great contact Series against Watertown and went one for three with an RBI against this um Gillette team last time they played that’s a strike will come up to bad with the bases loaded and two outs here in the bottom of the first hard hats cannot leave anything on the table here this Gillette team 19 and five for a reason one count to inhofer reaches and fouls it back now down in the count 02 fos has yet to put anybody away um via the K but this could be the time you never know inhofer had a great game too against Watertown made a couple double plays as well so 02 in the dirt chilling does a good job to keep that in front of him couldn’t allow it to get through any leaks in the boat will lead to an extra run one two count pitch in the dirt and Hur tips his Bat a little inspects it says no I’m not swinging at that one so two two count swinging a Miss on a high fast ball that’ll strand three B three runners so even though two run score for the hard hats an opportunity missed on a certain extent F gets his first K and gets out of the inning but he does allow two runs to score in a very high powered hitting bottom of the first for the hard hats will enter the top of the second now Gillette playing from behind recap that inning for the hard hats they have four hits turned into two runs both of them earned to the pitcher Foss no Gillette errors and three men left on um it’ll be two to nothing so far a very good start for the hard hats you’d have to think all right Lighty coming out for a second inning of work coming up to bat now is going to be Mason droo you may not recognize the name yet but droo the center fielder for this team and also a three star quarterback the number 43 in the class of 2025 he has offers for many power conference um Power conference programs 247 Sports has him currently going to Boston College he has offers from Oregon State Boston College Washington State Michigan State Wyoming North Dakota State Nevada Utah State and Montana State as well as a visit to Nebraska a very very highly sought after Wyoming recruit some say he could be the top recruit in Wyoming to come out over the last decade one count now he is a junior going on senior year so yeah he went out to Las Vegas to compete in the Elite 11 Quarterback Camp uh the little Regional Camp they had in Vegas um just last week that one low make it two so busy summer for him on a lot of fronts but still making time for the Legion Baseball which is nice Campbell County camels where my mom went to school actually two that’s a strike got strong Gillette connections um grandfather ran a or was the yeah ranom mine um The Eagle Mountain mine out there in let coine family live there I’ve been up there plenty of times swinging a Miss in the dirt make it two2 two two count droo awaiting Lighty gives him fast ball it gets by the bat no dinks to be heard and that’ll be a k he overpowers the first batter of the inning and of the day so first k for Lighty and it’ll bring up Carver partlo partlo a progyny of two Wayne State um Collegiate athletes so he’s got plenty of athletic prowess in his blood his father Ben was um played golf at Wayne State and his mother um Christine played some um played basketball that one is crushed into Right Center that might get back to the wall he’s rounding first headed for second the coff man going to get it he will stay there but a double from Carver partlo will start off the hitting for the inning uh on the Gillette side of things Riley Hawk going to come up to bat he did not play in the first time these T these two teams met so his first time seeing post 22 this year if at all runner on second one out here hard hats only have a two-run lead got to protect it Lighty first pitch is going to be flared in the left it’ll drop partlo being told around T Crossway throws one to the cutof man he will not make an attempt home and the riters now on the board with an RBI single from Riley Hawk all right riders on the board in the tying run on the base paths Jarrett black now up the right Fielder batting number seventh or batting seven Hawk looking like he’s getting ready to take off that’s a strike low in the zone yeah black looking like he’s getting ready to take off there or partlo no Hawk Hawk sorry so 01 count Hawk Bunch shown he’ll pull back throw back to First not going to be in time he did not pull it back my apologies that makes it 02 he offered but missed hopefully that guy didn’t get in our frame okay we seem to be fine O2 lady looking for a second K black pops it out of play it’ll remain o02 so 02 count Hotel pitch is going to be hit hard right at the center fielder Morgan he’ll make the grab throw it in and that’ll be out number to that was a hard hit ball good launch angle on it but unfortunately for black it was directly at center fielder jce Morgan so second out of the inning it’ll bring up the pitcher Kelby Foss I gu said Foss Sprinter he has considerable speed down the line so wouldn’t be totally shocked if you see a bunt or an infield single here strike delivered outside corner that was a well-located pitch for Lighty Foss keeping that head level taken High 1-1 something about that stance for Foss head never dips eyes stay the same place pretty much the whole time it seems that’s a solid strategy for tracking but it should be noted that you know fouled off no neck movement probably going to hurt you in some way I don’t know I feel like that would strain your neck over time as do these explosive swings he’s got it like a chicken like that and stays in the same spot no matter where you move it all right onew count Lighty looking to put the hard hats out of this inning the pitch slightly low good eye there from Kelby fos takes a pitcher to know a pitcher I guess F waiting on [Music] it Mighty winds up and delivers they will line it over the glove of Wilson keeper into Center Morgan gets it throws to the cutoff man and that’ll be a single yet again kefir just barely too short to grab that um to grab that ball they’ve been sneaking ones just by kefir kefir seems to be practicing that straight up jump and stretch um maneuver and trying it every time there are plenty of Short Stops who wouldn’t even give an attempt to that so fos gets a single and now the tying run just 90 ft away Mason kacher The nine-hole Hitter now coming up to bat this is why they’re so good versatile good offense good defense and deep Lighty first pitch inside Cub Walker braces for impact oh it does not hit him it’s ryers team looking to compete with Cheyenne post six for the um for the Wyoming title this year I suppose they do every year but still of course you still got Casper to worry about and Sheridan maybe Cody I don’t know two the pitch fouled off that was a strike right down the right down the middle Cub AER just got underneath that thing to foul it off for the first strike at the atat so 2-1 Lighty delivers bounces one in the dirt the runner will stay but now the count runs to 3-1 on Deck is the leadoff man Seth Peterson this really does feel like a re cash of the bottom of the first minus that early um early run looks like maybe you could put um load the bases with two outs um same way but maybe postway 2 won’t be as lucky Lighty gives him a strike gives him something to chew on he gets a piece of it and knocks it just a little bit foul Full Count now for Lighty got to stay calm and collected Full Count byy delivers popped up into right field foul territory three men chasing after it and it will drop harmlessly foul that was playable but just far enough away from everybody that nobody could get to it before it landed you saw inhofer Dietrich and and uh roach chasing after that one so Lighty will get a new ball and continue his at bat here with Cub Walker everybody’s going to run no matter the situation here Full Count that one fouled back out of play and it will remain a Full Count this is been a very competitive at bat with Lighty and Cub Walker and it’s a pivotal one in the course of this game Lighty sets up delivers and it’ll be low Ball [Applause] [Music] Four pet bases are loaded for the leadoff man Peterson now last time up he flew out to center fielder Jace Morgan in a routine flyy out now he’s got Bases Loaded two outs big game changing at bat here he reaches and Pops one into shallow Center that’ll get down Morgan Scoops it and they will keep um Foss over on third but the tying run will score for the Riders Peterson RBI [Applause] single Bas is still loaded for now Dominic Hecker who last time up had a single right over the head of Wilson keeper called strike on the outside I got to say say that that that plate slightly extended on the outside or closer to the left uh left-hander batter Box by this umpire today high curve ball does not break moves it to 11 one one- one count Lighty strike right nope they’ll call it a ball okay that looked like a strike from here having seen a ton of strikes from this exact angle but umpire gives it a ball moves to 2-1 Lighty outside 3-1 that’s that ball call could mean uh could give Gillette the lead here if he’s if light is not careful looks like Jaden Marino going to start warming up in the bullpen fouled back and the count runs full I see one of the parents just got spooked by the PA class sound effect all right Full Count the payoff pitch swing and a miss on the curveball Whitey keeps the nerves calm and is able to strike out the batter Hecker with nobody coming home with the bases loaded so the game is tied up now jaled able to recoup their two runs that they allowed in the bottom of the first but hard Hat’s now going to have a chance to make the um to give themselves yet another lead big pitch there from Hayden Lighty to strike out the batter and St on the bases so recap that ending for Gillette four hits two runs both of them earned no hard hat errs three men left on an identical um identical summary to the bottom of the first for the hard hats things just happened in a different order so it’s 2 two hard Hat’s looking to keep um hitting as well as they have been Wilson kef are going to lead this one off the Northern Colorado commit a good defensive and offensive Short Stop he’s got a couple siblings I believe I know Lars Kefir is in the Expos or is on the Expos right now looking to be a very good power speed guy also playing center field so excited to see him in the coming years Wilson the star of the show right now Wilson kefir three sport athlete baseball I want to say football and then basketball of course he’s really good um was the Rapid City High School athlete of the year um playing for Rapid City Christian this year so I of an athlete put his resume against pretty much any of the rest of these guys Keir his last time that he played Gillette though did go 0 for four with two strikeouts and an error defensively keeper getting ready first pitch swung on and tipped back to the netting still 01 he checks swings on one and it just finds its way to the barrel an unlucky accidental foul ball there for him you hate to see it it is one of the funnier plays in Baseball though so kefir down 02 against his own volition FS rocks high pitch outside one two so Keir going hope to work his way back into this count PA gives him one it is a check swing just over the pitcher’s head over to second base to throw to first just got him a close play there but Cub Walker able to field it and throw it in time that was nearly a very cramped claustrophobic infield single instead it’ll be a 43 put out for the first out of the inning and now Aiden Roberts back up 0 for one in the game so far but he is lead off for a reason Foss throws one in the dirt Roberts not going to entertain that one swung on and hit hard in the Deep Right Center that’ll get through it finds the Gap Roberts has the speed he’s rounding second they’re losing the ball Roberts has a chance in an inside the Parker and he will be told to hold up the ball had not yet reached the infield a standup triple for Aiden Roberts he could have gone it would have been a risky play I get that and I get coach torvi you know you got one out you’d rather have him come home with one of the other guys but that could have been an inside the Parker for Aiden Roberts in all uh reality given his speed and the pace he was at Jace Morgan now up he is one for one with a single his last time up oh my gosh that one about 18 in below going through the concession stand window and into the popcorn machine that could have been a real issue first pitch was a strike though Morgan on a tear lately as I mentioned had his first hard hat home run on Mother’s Day this Sunday also had um a couple good walks in there and three total hits slugged over 1500 low pitch taken for ballon [Applause] Foss not having his best outing so far that one also low Morgan doesn’t like it that way would prefer they’re a little more Central so we can get a piece of them so 3-1 count now he takes one on the inside yet again and that will walk him so a very fast Jace Morgan reaches base via walk he’s reached base both times now and it’ll bring up Alex Dietrich hard hats looking like they’re going to get another run or two on the board this inning if things go well well Dietrich is last time up had an RBI double and came around to score ball taken just a little outside though with the Umpire today I honestly would have expected that to be called a strike he’s been given a lot of preference to um that outside of the plate from the right right batters box that one reached on and drilled over to Second handled Cub Walker then throw to first in time double play and nobody will score for the hard hats in the bottom of the second the game remains tied on a clutch double play um from Cub Walker over to Peterson and finally over to partlo um at first so that Roberts kept it third thing not did not pay off and now the game remains noted and I might add both teams with five hits and two runs pretty much an identical scoreboard except it’s like a a domino pattern um with the O2 and 20 of the two teams very interesting I’m going to take a photo of that it’s a very interesting um scoreboard to look at also a very pretty scoreboard of course here at Fitzgerald field or Fitzgerald Stadium Dave Bluefield 463 double play Oh recap that inning for the hard hats one hit it’s the Aiden Roberts triple no run score no earned runs no errors on this Gillette Riders team and two men are left on it remains two to two so still noted up after two innings top of the third up coming and leading off going to be the catcher Riley Schilling plenty of Schillings have come through this program case Schilling is on the bench and um of course Riley going to uh two falls in the fall he will play against his older brother um I believe Colt Schilling uh who is now who graduated last year and is now at um Augustana University in South Dakota here both of them coming east of the Border moves to an O2 count Shilling is last time up grounded out into a double play hard hit ball foul out of the park goes 02 the pitch high and inside almost got a piece of him good job to limbo out of the way there from Shilling the pitch Cur ball in the dirt not able to get Shilling to bite we have a pair of pitchers warming up in the bullpen right now Eli Kelly among them Eli the relief Ace for the hard hats First Team all South Dakota last year two2 fast ball fought off and the at bat will continue light’s pitch count definitely being um driven up here today by the plentiful foul balls coming from from this chillet team it’s not that he hasn’t gotten Balls by him it’s that strike three is hard to get to as I say that the curve ball gets him to whiff and schilling goes down on strikes the third strike out of the day for Hayden Lighty Mason Dro football star the camel Commander as one may say Captain camel Tak it high one out I’ve been to humph out in Gillette as I mentioned my mom went to Gillette um went to Cable County High School when it was the only High School in town no Thunder base and that one is going to be tattooed into Center but right at Morgan yet again that’s two times now A Hard hit ball has gone out to the Outfield but Morgan’s just been luckily right there to make the play unfortunate for droo very fortunate for the hard hats and still nobody on in this inning Carver Parlow now up or Port low last time up he hit a double and came around to score recording the second hit of the game now an 01 count just a little high almost found its way back into the Zone scared portla away from the pitch away from the plate but curveball just a little inside yet again Port very quick to tuck back into his shell and duck for cover you have to wonder if he’s been hit by a pitch really hard lately seems like he’s having some some trauma there a bounce right into the glove of phip B sorry this guy’s in the way I don’t know what he’s doing not taking a seat though sorry that one popped up over to me at a play yep you can hear that d it takes like four or five bounces off the top of the box here I don’t know what that guy’s doing I don’t know if I can tell him to go oh he’s moving yay all right so Full Count now here for Lighty he delivers and it’s outside Ball Four he will not get a spotless inning as he walks the batter Carver partlo and and it’ll bring up Riley Hawk last time up for Hawk he or he hit a single oh M visit for the hard hats talking to Lighty feels like he can get out of this inning at least get through three he’s done a pretty good job here just some words of encouragement maybe a little status update on the bullpen of which there is two batters or two pitchers warming up let me use my phone and try to zoom in see who they are looks like Rowan Frederickson and Eli Kelly both of them warming up simultaneously in the bullpen so two outs up to bat is Riley Hawk last time he had a single into Center or sorry down the left field line that brought home the runner Carver parto parto trying to come home again and give Gillette a lead here in the top of the third if the pattern were to hold though they should go scoreless in the top of the third hard hat should score two in the bottom of the third and then they’ll score two in the top of the fourth the pitch is going to be hit hard and through into left field harlo going to stay there but a single yet again for Hawk he’s two for two and coach tvy going to come out and I believe take the ball from Lighty light day two and two3 innings pitched six hits allowed two walks three strikeouts and two earned runs so far though the two on the base paths are belonging to him and coming in will be Eli Kelly Eli far from a hard throwing right-hander but he has crazy movement on everything he has and he has a great sense of playing with pace and getting you to swing both in front and behind pitches I just saw a Doritos bag opened from the side being thrown into a trash can here at FG Stadium I have like it was ripped pretty cleanly down the side like with the with the Dorito’s logo facing downward it was very unsettling I’ve never seen a Doritos um bag open that way you either use the little strip and or like the strip at the back you usually use the strip at the back pull it and then the top comes out you keep it upright whoever this is this is I I hate to say it I believe this a psychopathic Behavior to open the Doritos cutting it or in some other way ripping it to open up the side all the way down the previous piece of plat or the piece that they ripped off nowhere to be found I I don’t know what I can I don’t know what to do about that all right oh walking taco that could that could be a good idea okay all right it makes more sense now so two on two outs and now up now on the mound Eli Kelly Eli Kelly number 17 my first my personal favorite 17 is Philip Rivers oh they’re from the concession ah okay I have I got to familiarize myself with the whole men that’s a strike 111 one one count throw in the dirt Jared Black up to bat last time up he broke up a hit train with a line out to center field Kelly settles himself in checks on the runner and delivers that is hit hard into right center and drops over the right field glove of Aaron roach one run will score rounding being told to come home is going to be Hawk and two more run score on the two out double from Jarrett black the back of the order doing far better than the top of the order so far today two RBI come for black and a two-out rally turns into a two-run lead for this ryers [Music] team hard hats just can’t quite get out of this inning right now Foss now up to bat first pitch taken for a ball Kelly strike right down Main Street one one ire just land out I don’t even think it was a St I think he just made a sound and did the motion I don’t know that’s probably the rules one one man on second two outs Kelly just trying to get out of this thing curveball in the zone a pretty one right there he’s in strike straight love that thank you all for tuning in to hard hats TV even if I’m a little crazy so one two count kway just trying to get out of this third inning curveball almost gets by Foss he swings low and just gets a piece of it he’ll survive to see the next pitch one two Kelly stearing down the batter and delivering curveball popped up out of play almost into the booth next to me and that will go foul there was a caught by a bystander on the lawn it seems I’m getting I’m there’s some claps going on here so one two count Kelly high pitch at some point you got to try something different so he doesn’t get um so you can get the K wasn’t able to strike him out with that one the high heat Kelly I swear there’s a variation of about 20 mes hour between that curve ball and the fast ball curveball just a little outside Foss leans but does not swing and we go full Gillette done a fantastic job of running up Pitch counts and Tak quality ABS the Full Count Kelly fast ball is hit hard into right roach going back on it he will make the grab so they finally get out of the inning but the riters score two more on a two-out rally and going into the bottom of the third Gillette up four to2 recap that inning for Gillette two hits turned into two runs both of them earned to Hayden Lighty there are no hard hat ears and one man is left on it is four to two hard hats who started out so strong I was telling you the base is loaded you can’t leave anything on the table against this Gillette team now they really wish they could have scored something there um additionally after their first two came in in the bottom of the first but they’ll have their chance here they’re going to try to e they’re going to even up the Innings batted um here in the bottom of the third and try to keep Pace with this Gillette team well remind over nine total Innings last game between these two teams both of them it was just a 5 to2 game h H so hollik going to lead off this inning here last time up he had a single and got around to third but couldn’t score hard Hat’s trying to respond the momentum been taken away from them it feels hit hard right at torvi he lets it go right through his legs and it’ll be 01 F still on the mound for the third inning spikes one in the other batting box batters box so one1 so it’s a one-1 count now ger ball finds the top of the zone that was a pretty one there from Foss moves the count to onew that’s the first really good curveball I’ve seen fast throw today high high rise low drop one two holik watches a skipper not quite make its way to home 22 it’s a two- two Fross winds up delivers outside ball three hard fast ball thrown wide of the plate and now the count runs full for hollik a walk as good as a single in this situation Outfield play or the infield playing out um right now preparing for a ground ball another one taken on the outside and hollik with the lead off walk that’s exactly what you want to see if your coach torvi it’ll bring up roach Aaron roach Umar with a man on nobody out Foss led a lot of hard hat Runners on the bases so far today but doesn’t seem to really I mean the other the offense is doing so much including him he’s doing a lot on the offensive end hard hit o smacked up the left field line but foul had that stayed fair I don’t think there’s any way the third base B catches that off anything that was a that was a shin breaker oh1 the catcher getting closer to the plate right now possibly a oh bouncer I don’t think he intended to throw that one could be wrong but think Palmer Jacobs in the house a first team All State selection from two years ago that’s a strike delivered they throw it to the Outfield it’ll get through it’s still going still rolling into third holik being told to round he will head to third the throw a good one but offline hollik will advance all the way to third base on a throwing error by catcher Riley Schilling the first error of the game goes E2 on Schilling and now the runner in scoring position still a onew count nobody out in the inning roach got even more room to work with now a bouncer but Schilling does a great job of getting in the way of those things it might help he has an exceptionally large frame if I were to guess judging by the relative height to everybody else I’m going Shilling about 65 very tall for a catcher two two swing and a miss strike three good pitch there will keep roach from getting a board that is the second strikeout of the game for Foss and the first out of the inning it’ll bring up take cross weight last time up he hit one um that almost got down to the left fielder they’re playing very deep on the right side of the infield here not taking their chances on a hard hit ball ball in the dirt almost gets through the legs of Shilling that could have been a disaster obviously with holik over on third hard hats have no outs to waste even if it’s a nine-inning contest ball somehow the second one I was very certain was a strike called Ball but I don’t know maybe Tate saw something I didn’t let me watch it back here no that’s a strike okay anyways two well now it’s evened out one on each side hard hit ball in the Deep right it’s going back to the track and and it’s out of here Tate Crossway sends one into the creek and the hard hats are all tied [Applause] up touch them all take cross weight his first home run of the season and it’s an absolute tank he hit it over one of the furthest parts of the park I believe that one definitely 400 and something I’ll say that he felt overdue I said that at the start of this game and there it is [Music] indeed that is what you love to see one bad pitch can and he’ll punish you so game all tied up with one out here on that exciting one hit High to left they’re still tracking it it’s off the wall coming around B using that speed he’ll hold up at second but that was a surprisingly far one as well he got a serious hold of that thing and it just kept floating out to left it was almost by the scoreboard there and it dropped right at the base of the wall the left fielder out there um Riley Hawk couldn’t quite make what you know figure out what it was didn’t even make an attempt on the play and that’ll be a double for Philip B his first hit of the day and he’ll take off for third Shilling gets him so the the perfect stolen base streak for B comes to an end at 9 and0 so he had he was nine for n on steals this year he tries it against Shilling and finally gets caught they finally caught the serial swiper there that’ll be second out of the inning vence has been very reliable as a stolen base threat this year he was frustrated by that one still is frustrated by that one but Riley Shilling something to note 2.0 cap uh pop time for him and a pitcher as well that one soft dribbler over to third they’ll handle it throw to first knock going to be anywhere close infield single for Dawson inhofer inhofer also a stolen base threat though though I think he’s going to be a little more um reluctant to use it um with Shilling on the mound or Shilling behind the plate like I said Shilling about 6’5 he’s got some serious heat on his fast ball is 81 he’s got a lot of speed on his pit or on his uh pitches and also on his um throws to second and third and hofer’s got the speed though that’s why they’re checking in on him they throw it back again and Hofer easily safe but they’re trying to send a message I don’t think inhofer is going to learn um I think he’s going to keep leading off just like he likes it he’s not wearing his little glove right now though still looking for a first pitch of the at bat here the kefir it’s been a minute he’s taking a long time F steps off the rubber so Keeper’s been in that box for about 50 seconds maybe a minute now and F has not thrown him a single ball still taken time and inher takes off Schilling throws to Second not in time inhofer is safe and now the runner in scoring position to take the lead for the hats I believe that is the seventh stolen base so far for inhofer the last time he played these guys chilling caught him so that must feel pretty good first pitch was a ball inhofer heavy lead off third nobody covering second right now for a pickoff attempt that one high makes it to L andher that P that throw was not too far behind him I I think it’s because they uh this the second baseman came in front of the bag hadn’t spin around to tag him that could have been what cost him in Hover trying to get in the head of the pitcher and it’s working three nothing the count three FS inside and high allall four so kefir does a lot of standing in the box and doesn’t swing a single time the P looks like they’re going to take Foss out of the game here in the exact same amount of time and the exact same amount of runs allowed as Heen Lighty this game just stays so evenly matched now up to bat is Aiden Roberts somebody to note for him he’s got um he had that triple could have been an inside the Parker um back in the top of the inning but or top of the second but did not come home to score despite the uh despite the one out hit so they’re going to keep F in this is where for um Hayden Lighty they kept him in after talking to him trying to get that final out and instead um he allowed a single to score a run or he allowed Riley Hawk to hit a single and take the batter first to third there’s two on now both of which are fast and Aiden Roberts up to bat three for six that one gets through the legs and Hofer going to make it to third safely kefir started to take off inhofer didn’t see it got through the legs very quickly kefir was worried he was going to have to come back to first if inhofer didn’t just if inher wasn’t able to recognize it but the first pitch a wild one will advance the runners Foss stepping off he seems a little impatient a little frazzled I may say that’s a strike delivered to the packs 1-1 one one in the dirt two [Applause] one 2-1 Foss strike delivered on the outside that’s that extended Zone that we’ve seen already in this game so love the consistency so two2 with two outs here a chance to really break this game open for the hard hats and give him a lead Foss stares it down still not in his position he’s still facing the plate he now steps and delivers just a little inside almost a strike tried to nip the Zone on its way by couldn’t quite and we go to a Full Count so big payoff pitch here one that could change the game everybody rubbing their hands together in The Dugout and outside ball four bases are loaded yet again for the hard hats no Mound visit though I don’t think no there will not be a mound visit F going to have to finish this one out himself and unfortunately for this um unfortunately for this Gillette Team Jace Morgan now up to bat he is two for two on the day um at least for reaching base he had a single back in the first o hard hit ball off The netting foul he had a single back in the first came around to score and then had a walk um on a he had a five pitch walk on his second time up the last five hard hat have reached base safely 01 Morgan Chopper over to Second it is handled cleanly and throw to first they get out of it again Foss able to cheat death and keep this game tied in the bottom of the third hard hats strand the runners full stand um that is the hard hats are up to eight stranded runners in just three Innings of work they’ve left a lot on the table Foss has done a very good job of sneaking out the back door of innings and it remains now tied or it becomes tied now four to four after [Applause] [Music] three so for the third inning hard hats with three hits two runs both of them them earned still no or one error [Music] sorry actually only one of the runs earned one run earned and um one error on the catcher uh chilling and then three men left on you have to wonder with Philip B getting out at third um if they’ have the lead right now you’d have to think so but I totally respect Philip going for it he’s been Unstoppable on the base pads until now he stole a base off of Shilling back in Gillette uh two weeks ago so I don’t blame him one bit Kelly coming back out for his second inning of work Mason Co back um kalker going to or Co sorry kacher going to um beat the first batter he faces The nine-hole Hitter last time up he drew a Full Count walk off Lighty after fouling off um four pitches herur ball just a little high on most batters that would have been a strike but kacher I’m guessing an underclassman a little bit um small in stature so one1 called strike on the edge of the plate that’s that extended Strike Zone near the first base line or near the Leander batter box Eli delivers curveball just a little high like I said on pretty much any other batter on either team in this game that is a strike but kabaker with a smaller Strike Zone has lower to the ground 22 cball misses outside and we run full Kelly’s thrown a lot of really good pitches in this at bat um but he’s got to watch out the last time the r the count ran full against kabaker he fouled off two pitches and Drew a walk and that one’s High taken for ball four and despite throwing several good pitches Eli Kelly walks the opening batter now those are some quality at bats two walks on full counts um for kabaker and that sets him up for the leadoff man being aboard and it’ll bring up Seth Peterson his last time up he had an RBI single Kelly gives him a fast ball hard hit grounder foul a one as with a lot of people um a little early on that pitch I want to say Kelly tops out about 76 77 not a hard thrower at all but he’s got great movement and tremendous control and that’s what makes him an all state selection first team All State even so 01 popped up that’s going to be right at me that might even hit me oh wait Ben thinks he has a play no does not that swirled back B took everything he could it almost landed in The Dugout for Gillette and it moves o02 Kelly not known for his strikeouts he’s more of a soft contact kind of guy but I will note against Watertown when he came in all four of his outs recorded were strikeouts you can see the curve right here swinging and a miss on the change up and Kelly Strikes Out Seth Peterson the leadoff man his first K of the day first out of the inning and it’ll bring up Dominic Hecker last time up Packer struck out swinging against Hayden Lighty we’ll see how he does in his first encounter with Eli Kelly runner on first slightly off off doesn’t look like he’s going to take off curveball in the zone they throw back not going to be in time to make any tag but that is a strike one a pretty curve ball if you are going to steal on anybody on a pitcher Eli is not a bad one to try out on the fact that his pitches take a long time to get to the plate 01 time called they wanted they oh they there’s the ball in right field they wanted that came out of the um Bullpen for Gillette that they needed to clean up before they could play so no time for either pitcher or batter just kind of environmental hazard Kelly the 01 here to Hecker he will smoke one down the left field line that one’s going to get to the wall cross weight gets it he’ll throw it in to the cutoff man that’ll be a double so Hecker with the double and now the go-ahead Run 90 ft away with one out here in the top of the fourth no run score there but now Runners two runners in scoring position Riley shilling back up chilling like I said sou Falls commit he’s got um a great batter or they wouldn’t put him at the three hole but he’s 0 for two today including a double play and a strikeout swinging Kelly first pitch curb ball in the zone good one there that’s the thing that is a very good pitch on Shilling but against kabaker that was a ball and that’s got to feel frustrating on Deck Mason droo big center field herball swinging a Miss swipes at the wind on that one and it goes 02 Kelly has a chance for a k here Lighty was able to do it on Shilling back in the third curveball grounded up the middle kefir has it he will not throw home and the go-ahead run will be safe kabacha comes in kefir didn’t like his odds there made a informed decision and held the runner at second and threw home or through to first for the out so that’ll be an RBI ground out for Riley Schilling they’re up now or sorry Gillette up now Mason Dro who is very sought after hard-hitting center fielder um with tons of scholarship offers for football he is 0 for two in this game with a strikeout swinging to Lighty and a line out hard directly at Jace Morgan there’s a duck flying over the field right now it’s a Mard very pretty all right 01 Kelly C Ball doesn’t quite make it home and 1-1 you’re going to have to put an amber amber alert for that that one got lost on its way yeah I think that’s Palmer Jacobs there watching from the sidelines for the hard hats curveball slightly high 2-1 two1 count Kelly gives him one to two on that is lined into right it’ll get down another run will score they’re going to Second roach throws it in and he will be safe RBI double what is this this game and run scoring in pairs of two I don’t know what’s going on there but the riters back on top by two now on the dro RBI double Eli Kelly this is a lot of runs Allowed by him under pretty much any condition but that you know comes with the fact that Gillette is just very good the two or sorry blank count here to corver partlo corver partlo partlo soft grounder over to short kefir Scoops it throws to First in time and that’ll finally be the inning the riters make a rally and yet again keep the hard hats at distance as they extend their lead six to four recap that inning for the Gillette ryers two hits turn into two runs both of them are earned to Eli Kelly no errors are no errors from the hard hats right it says there’s an error on the board I don’t know when that would be though it say there’s an error on the board I don’t get it why when was the when did the hard hats come in in error are they claiming that the Eli or the fact um that when Wilson keeper didn’t throw home that was an error cuz it isn’t he made the out but okay one man left on the thing is both of these teams very similar in their runs scored but in Opportunities wasted they are not similar at all just five Runners left on base through four for this Gillette ryers team while the hard hats have stranded eight Runners through three missing a lot of opportunities here if they could cash in on him more um you’re probably looking at a uh tie game if not the lead all right and there’s Harry good back from Northeastern College he will suit up in a little coaches starters jacket and move out to the first base line to be first base coach today welcome Harry back he was at Northeastern Junior College in Sterling Colorado was playing in the postseason that’s why it took him a while for him to get here he will be participating in this weekend’s festive or his weekend Series against Cheyenne Post 6 Harry the leader in average well the leader in RBIs and runs and maybe home runs last year um first team All State selection um he will be a big addition back to this hard hats lineup 02 count a skipper we have a new pitcher in for the writers I should have noted that a while ago it is partlo from first base so a quick switch of Rooney partlo goes to pitcher and Kelby Foss moves over to First that one is popped up and the the catcher thinks he has a play on it and he does Schilling watches that one curve back inside the net and he will get a a very hard-earned out there on the popup behind home blade so partlo records his first out swung on and missed for strike one holik reached on both his times up so far that’s a strike he walked his last time up and singled back in the first o swung on on a low pitch soft grounder over to short throw to first in time so the first two Runners retired by the new pitcher um low and the hard hats looking like they’re going to have their first inning without a hit here if roach can’t make something happen that was an interesting one holic reached it one well below the Zone but did make solid contact All Things Considered he had to bend for it but he made the contact um but it just was not an appetizing enough pitch there’s the strike closer to the left um just slightly outside on the real zone so 01 parlo delivers foul tip strike two partlo a lanky first baseman got plenty of height on him which should turn into velocity pretty quick [Music] High hit ball foul out of play into the um The Dugout or sorry the bullpen in left field so 02 count still for roach foul tip right into the glove of Schilling and that’s a one two three inning the first one of this game for either team um great start for partlo to his uh to his day number nine in the game here we are not even halfway through this thing this is shaping up to be a classic however something along the lines like a 13 to 11 so in that inning no hits no runs no orang runs no Gillette Rider errors and nobody is left on for the first time this game still six to four the Riders a very tough team to get out it’s cool to see Harry back all right top of the fifth now still got five innings to go Eli Kelly back out there Riley Hawk who’s having a great day first pitch oh ball almost a strike Hawk is two for two with a pair of singles and two runs two runs in RBI also his jersey is a little big for him just going to say it very baggy Jersey on him he seems to be slight of frame but that hasn’t stopped him from muscling a few into the Outfield one-1 count now for Kelly Hawk did not play in the first matchup of these two teams but has been a key addition big swing in a Miss on a change up there makes it onew maybe a slider I don’t know does Eli have a slider he might I don’t know okay one two count Kelly swinging a Miss strike three he gets the opening batter out first time they’ve been able ble to you know take down the hawk this entire game second strike out of the game for Kelly first out of the inning and it’ll bring up Jarrett black black one for two with a two-run or yeah two-run double back in the third inning and a line out directly at Jace Morgan before that he’s been hitting him hard and into Right Center um or just into Center and right center the two times so roach may want to play a little bit closer to the middle than he is right now I think he’s out of frame for you one oh called strike on that extra space outside 11-1 one1 swing and a miss nobody can seem to make contact with Eli’s pitches right now they’re just a little too slow for them they expect them to come in quicker there’s a dove doing laps off of the light tower that has popped up into Center should be a routine out for Morgan he makes it so now Kelly giving the Riders to taste their own medicine two down nobody coming through for them so far in this inning this is the normal Eli Kelly we’ve gotten used to over the last year and a half I think two no two years Kelby Foss now up now playing first base I don’t think that’ll change his hitting but he is one for two with a fly out to right in a single fast ball outside one out Eli got the Jamie Moyer built but without the age it’s a one out count curveball little high two out gotta watch out for that can’t get behind the count here against this team strike delivered right down the middle and we go to a 2-1 KY that one outside again and it goes to 3-1 B one that’s swung on and hit into left right at Tate cross weight who makes the grab so Kelly gives him a one two three inning right back at him and the hard hat still down two but with a chance to equalize in the bottom of the fifth good inning there no hits no runs no earn runs no errors nobody left on and it’s still six to4 as we reach the Midway point of this game Gillette on top by two and what is shaping up to be a classic in the making we have a new right fielder looks like we got a 28 out there is that the normal guy I feel like Jared black no Jarrett Black’s been the other right fielder I got to check and like see what the back of his jersey says when he runs back out there but we might have a new right fielder just from the numbers I was seeing I was seeing a 28 we’ll see what happens when he turns around he’s practicing a sidearm and threw it way wide of his Target I’ll wait for him to turn around real quick blames his hand being sweaty that’s 28 we have a new right fielder who is it um um let me check there’s no 28 listed maybe it’s Kobe Craig the number 26 maybe it’s somebody not on listed which would be illegal I think swung on soft grounder over to First Foss handles it he’ll touch the bag and cross weight retired so one pitch one out to start out the bottom of the fifth men now up B back up he had a double his last time up and had a hit by pitch in the first he flinches at a strike right down the middle goes to an 01 that’s what he does early in the count he’s going to Flinch If he if he doesn’t if he’s not certain so one later on he starts to foul things off still nobody able to get aboard um against the relief pitcher uh partlo it’s now 02 B A Hard strike out partlo delivers in the dirt spikes one and we go to one2 I got to keep track of what the shortest pitch I’ve seen I’ve seen him not even hit the not even hit the little brown before but I’ll have to check there’s going to be a lot of tournaments swinging a Miss on the high fast ball and B goes down swinging something he did not do in their last uh time playing playing each other that is the second K of the day for partl who has been fantastic so far inhofer now up he struck out swinging in the first and then had a single got all the way to third but was stranded out there in the third inning oh sorry it’s 10 not 13 bouncer almost hit the plate it makes a funny sound it sounds like a slap when it does hit the plate you’ll hear it at some point it’s a pretty loud sound don’t hear it often but it happens so two two now b or sorry not B inhofer swings on one fouls it back make it two1 just trying to get through partlo show that he’s human second base and short playing pretty deep right now first and third playing close strike delivered at the armpits or at the letters I guess you could say um on these jerseys so it’s a two- two count now for Dawson inhofer part low delivers just got a piece of it and he’ll keep fighting two two count b l that one in the dirt and we’ve run full on Deck is kefir who has yet to get a hit against this team he is 0 for five but did get a walk his last time up reached on hit up the middle second base kabaker over to Foss and another one two three inning so the relief pitcher um Carver partlo has been silencing the heart hats bats which were very alive the first three Innings and now it’s been a full inning and a half since anybody scored entering the top of the six6 83256 conratulations so recap no hits no runs no ear runs no Gillette airs nobody left on and still 64 this game suddenly kind of Shifting it looked like a slugfest at the start with both the starters both the relievers kind of showed a little bit of vulnerability and then have been lights out nine straight have gone down um which is odd because there wasn’t an inning with all three of them going down uh until this last one um in the or until the fourth inning bottom of fourth it makes those eight left on by the hard hats look even even worse so top of a sixth Mason kacher the short statured uh second baseman C throws him one in the dirt it’s closer to the zone so one oh bunt shown up the line and foul one1 count 111 Kelly swinging a Miss on high heat go to a onew the one two Kelly staring down the batter and delivers curveball slightly high though I might not kabaker did Duck there he kind of shortened himself which could be a meta on slow pitches and you want him to go a certain direction just make yourself smaller two two fast ball popped up high into Center Morgan makes the grab seemed like the sun was getting to his eyes but luckily he’s wearing sunglasses foiled the sun’s plans so that’s five um retired in a row for this uh Team for this uh for Eli Kelly and it’ll bring up Seth Peterson who is one for two on the day with an RBI single back in the third strike delivered right down the middle the pitch hard hit at his coach and it takes a weird bounce over to Aiden Roberts so O2 Peterson awaiting cball swinging him miss that one keeps on evading him just a stretch out curve ball able to fool the batter and that’s 2K or that’s three K on the day Eli Kelly the previous six runners or previous six batters taken out in order two outs now for Kelly he’ll bring up Dominic Hecker Hecker one of the few uh one of the two batters to get a hit off of Kelly today he had a double and came around to score on the other hit that Kelly allowed Kelly in the dirt two Hecker Olympic College Junior College commit you see some I believe it’s still Rowan Fredrickson out there in the bullpen but Kelly’s doing fantastic that one skyed up into Center Morgan going back Fielding making the grab so that’ll be it one two three again and four perfect frames put up by these two relief pitchers um now and going into the bottom of the sixth hard Hat’s just got to get something going here while the relievers are holding everybody down there’s a very strange 180 for this game to have halfway through the fourth inning no hits no runs no earned runs no hardhead errors nobody left on another perfect inning for Eli this is the Eli we’re expecting the onepoint erra Eli that we saw last year remember this is a nine ining contest so still a full third of the game plus a little to go leading office inning will be be Wilson Keir the last time he let off he hit into a 4-3 ground out still looking for his first hit against this team and the hard hats still looking for their first hit off the pitcher Carver ptro or partlo um in this one he’s put all six batters he’s faced down so far kefir trying to break it up the Northern Colorado commit out all right one out a walk as good as a single here that’s a strike fast fast ball on the outside of the plate one one another fast ball on the outside of the plate he keeps nicking that outside um edge of the plate there one two keeper swings on one drives it up the middle and the hard hats get their first hit off partlo to start off the inning his first hit against Gillette and either of their games this G this year as well that is a tone setter so now a tying run comes to the plate and it’s Aiden Roberts who’s gotten on two out of three times he had the triple almost inside the Parker in the second reached on a um a Full Count walk in the third and grounded out to the third baseman in the first foul just got a piece of it bounces off of the mask of Shilling and it’ll move to 01 I think he was trying to check swing on that but just got a piece of it as that bat came down to where it was intended to go in the first [Applause] place 01 throw back to First not going to be even remotely close to getting kefir Kefir is a stolen base threat though he’s got the little glove on he’s got his M 01 keeper takes off Schilling throws it’s a good one but it’s in and out of the glove of the second baseman kabach uh kacher and that’ll be a successful stolen base from Wilson kefir he’s now in scoring position hard hats two for three on steals against chilling today two for two on on on second 0 for one on a on steals a third it’s a one-1 count grounded hard over to short cleanly handled throw to first but kefir gets over to third so ground out will be the first out of the inning for Aiden Roberts 63 ground out and it’ll bring up Jace Morgan though kefir will advance to Third Morgan reached two out of three times today including a single back in the first taken outside ball one Morgan like I said have been on a terror lately and on Deck Alex Dietrich not somebody you want to face chance for the hard hats to make a rally here in the one of the strongest parts of this order one- one count that one grounded right back up the middle it is knocked down by the pitcher and will not allow anything he nearly made an incredible Reaction Time catch I think they might be doing a quick check on his hand as that did hit the side of his glove and maybe the hand inside of it would have been hit hard the manager going to come check on it almost a fantastic play but they’re going to check on that hand in the mid to see if it’s all right Carver partlo did fall to the ground took a second for him to get back up possibly in pain but that will be an infield single for uh an infield RBI single for jce Morgan it’ll bring in keeper and let me let me do all the scoreboard stuff here make it five to six Morgan definitely a stolen base threat and with the hard heads being two for two at stealing second I could totally see it happening they’ll probably check back in on him partlo going to stay in the game detri awaiting still checking still checking third time checking and dri’s like you got to be kidding me give me some you know throw the ball I need to reset now so 01 part low gives him one strike at the knees couple of um uh couple of sideline umps here disagreeing with that thinking it was slightly low I mean Dietrich rather tall I understand so could be below his Zone they throw back to First not in time one of the coaches here for Gillette telling the right fielder to go further into the Outfield towards Center hard hit ball bounced foul and we go to 02 drick so far RBI double back in the first hit into a double play in the second and then had an unlucky pop out to Shilling behind home plate in the fourth 02 chance to keep the train rolling throwback not going to be in time Morgan very careful about stubbing his hand right now he kind of puts one down and then slides the other one in he doesn’t jump back and use the hand that’s closest to touch the plate that is reached on and it’ll get through single for Alex dich Morgan will hold up at second and the hits keep coming part low no longer invincible third hit of the inning all of them singles um going to very different places uh in this one so Runners on first and second Hayden hollik the cleanup man comes out hollik has a single a walk and a ground out to short in this game so far he’s exactly who you want to come up with two men on and one out here let 01 torvi says something about letting it go so I mean I only got a fragment of that 01 count wait is that a b no bo he started going up and then turned around checking on the runners which frankly that sounds like a Bo to me I don’t know box though there’s so subjective 01 swung on right through the middle Morgan couldn’t quite figure out where he was so he’s not going to score on that but three consecutive singles off of partlo and the hard hats the time run on third goahead run at second and they are approaching on the chance here to not only tie it up but possibly take the lead double play is in effect though got to watch out hard hats have already stranded eight batters in this game roach up to bat he struck out twice and has an RBI single back from the first inning big moment here got to avoid the double play got to at least bring in the tying [Music] run smacks one foul almost a one-handed grab by Elder who’s coming in from the bullpen right now with Rowan Frederickson oh no it’s Jaden Moreno coming in with elder so it’s an no1 partlo gives him one swung on and missed on a very outside pitch able to fool roach into swinging there 02 on Deck take cross weight with a two- runs uh home run back in the third inning that’s right O2 he flinches and takes it torvis says a good attab boy there in this pivotal situation the hard hats have Stranded the bases full twice so far in this game can’t afford to do it again part low the pitch slightly outside that’s a pitch that the Umpire has been giving though he makes the right call this time and it goes to two- two partlo deep breath Target set in the middle that is swung on and hit deep into Center d n gets it he will throw to the cutoff man it is handled and sliding in safely to third is Dietrich coming home without a throw is Jace Morgan the game is all tied up for the hard hats on a sack fly for Aon roach a productive at bat there will tie things up and bring the go-ahead run to third for take Crossway so two runs have scored in this inning which has been the amount of runs that has been capped for this entire game but hard Hat’s trying to change that cross weight had that two-run nuke back in the third inning other than that he’s one for three in total first baseman playing it pretty close to line which I will say is a good idea that pitch maybe slightly inside fans not happy with that one but called strike anyways 111 part low now one outside called ball 2-1 hollik over on first Dietrich at third two outs here big moment in this game fouled off the catcher mask and we go two two cross weight pulled that one a little noted his max bat speed there two two count swung on and grounded F handles it off the Hop and that will be the inning so the hard hats strand two more but they do cash in tying up the game six to6 in a productive bottom of the sixth Eli Kelly going to come back oh no Eli is done they will bring in Jaden Moreno for the um top of the seventh recap that inning for the hard hats four hits turn into two runs both of them are earned to the pit to the relief pitcher Carver partlo no errors from the Riders and two are left on base is six to six this is going to be exciting you’re watching hard hats TV final three Innings upcoming in a back and forth high scoring 6 to6 ball game between the Rapid City Post 22 hard hats and the Gillette post 42 Rough Riders Kelly has been perfect the last two innings partlo did that and then allowed things but uh I don’t know can’t say that’s like a predictor of his um I guess Kelly’s out of the game it’s Jaden Moreno now so Mareno first time I’ve gotten to see him pitch this year he’s been right the he’s been on ice for a little while now we will start off with Riley Schilling Schilling 0 for three in this game ball called there maybe slightly inside he grunted on that gave it all his Force I will say that Jaden Moreno one oh that’s a strike on the outside [Applause] edge one- one count Marino curveball popped up he’s able to get the batter to swing under it inhofer goes into the Outfield to make the out had to cross state lines getting some hell from Morgan and roach it seems but shakes it off says Hey made the out so that’ll be first out fly out to um inhofer in very firmly right center field first out recorded for Moreno it’ll bring up Dube or droo the football star and baseball Cleanup Man men lost the ball asked for a different one thinking it went away it did not he could just reach it I get it mask makes it hard to see it is kind of tough so one oh count the pitch is hit hard and deep into left Center all the way to the track Morgan gets it off the bounce rounding for third is Drew the cut off man gets it throw to third is too high but they might have gotten him oh droo just able to hold on to the bag Roberts landed on top of him and almost tagged him on the way down everybody raising the roof there for droes triple Mareno allows his first runner Dro his second extra base hit and it brings up Carver partlo the relief pitcher SL first baseman since becoming a relief pitcher he’s 0 for one fouled back and makes it a one he before was one for one with a walk and an RBI double 01 count Moreno looking at droo throws it there if Roberts was playing closer to third maybe they could get him Duo’s taking a a strong lead I must say he’s putting on a little sling M or something he’s got two things in his hands right now curveball High 2-1 I don’t know if having two things in your hands is the right idea but he’s got it he’s standing all the way out by his first by his third base coach over there I might be able to pick him off Moreno’s thinking about it throw strike two fast ball gets right by partlo and it’s two2 Polo’s sister Ella was the 2023 Max Preps Wyoming softball player of the year taken High she’s now at Utah State University East Campus um playing niia softball I think could be J don’t quote me 321 count Marino payoff pitch is swung on and it will get down the infield playing in and that will allow droo to score the shift hurts the hard hats that time and the riters back a top they can’t ever leave the game tied can they but here’s the bad news in order to score one run in this game you seem to have to score two we’re through six Innings and it’s been it’s all twos and zeros on the board right now that would in that would um implicate that or indicate that a second run has to score in this inning that one fouled Dietrich after it but it will go out of play a one count keeper probably would have been able to make that out had they been playing deeper but the shift had him staying in rley Hawk is up two for three with a pair of singles for AR Hawk Marino fast ball in the dirt 1-1 Mareno gives him a fast ball to chew on Smacks it foul one two Maro yet to get a K in this game he’s gotten a few swinging strikes though which is a good sign one two count time called I Believe by the batter Hawk Hawk been a big difference maker in this game so far reaches high on a ball above the zone and is able to square it up into left field his third single of the day that’s one that’s kind of an OD ofy that one clear he had to reach up to hit that thing but still was able to square it up and put it into left field so third single of the game second or third hit in a row for the Riders and like I said in order to score one you seem to have to score two and no more than two but score two um in this game which doesn’t bode well Jared Black up to bat he had a two-run double back in the third inning that he could do again in theory swinging a Miss on a high fast ball one or 01 black also has flown out and lined out to Center so Morgan better be on high alert two Runners good lead off bun shown and popped up to the netting behind home 02 all the other hard hats on the edge of the bench watching intently 02 Marino looking for the put out pitch throws a Max effort grunting fast ball that gets fought off you’re were able to get fast to think that piece of glass is actually broken so PA and ounce are doing a fantastic job today with that second person I’ve seen fooled those are just the ones I’ve seen oil curveball is reached on and swung in left Crossway tracks it down for the second out he set that one high but not very far it is a 1-3 count now or sorry two outs men on first and second Kelby Foss one for three has yet to get a hot or has yet to get a hit since becoming a uh first baseman Moreno delivers squared that one up but foul into the little Hill next to um next to the bullpen so first pitch a strike Moreno done a good job of getting ahe in the count Foss pumping Maro checks checks again time might be called here no it isn’t fast pitch in the zone Mareno using the Mind Games to his help uh hit to his advantage and it’s now 02 ner nine inning game here Runners on first and second Moreno trying to defy the trends of this game and leave it as a one-run inning it’s a very odd scoreboard to look at I will say 02 02 022 okay one two count Marino High breaking ball does not find the zone two two I think Foss might have pulled something in his arm there he was holding it pulled something in that back arm of his the right arm Mareno curveball outside B it gets slightly by him but he’s able to get to his feet and handle it and now from an 02 count to a Full Count Marino in trouble um with the chance of loading the bases Full Count big pitch in the course of this game here Mareno checks on the batter he’ll throw back does not get him felt like he had a chance there though Ying um or sorry not you they’re going to have a quick little chat here Mountain visit telling Marino it’s almost like a like a coach calling a timeout before a big fourth down it’s like this is going to this is going to be big this is going to decide the game all right huge at back coming up jadeen Maro Full Count trying to get out of this one a payoff pitch swing and a miss strike three Mareno escapes with a one-run inning strands two Runners and the game’s Trends come to an end as the first non zero non two-run inning or frame has has been put up that does give them the lead though Gillette on Top seven to six first K of the day for Marino so in that inning three hits turn into two runs both of them are earned to Mareno no hard hat ears and two men left on or sorry turns into one run I was so used to the two- run thing so it’s 7 to six a true seventh inning stretch here now usually we do fifth inning stretches but we actually are playing N9 Innings today so s any distraction it’s a pretty nice day will [Applause] say all right all right do up for the hard hats going to be the bottom of the order the 789 Philip B Dawson inhofer and Wilson kefir V one for two with a hit by pitch and a double back in the third the pitcher part low going to stay out there for the seventh inning Bunch shown pulls or show tries it and um the pitch a little too low to make contact with that’ll be strike one B very fast runner to First legs out a lot of infield singles called ball just a little outside V good eye there 111 in the dirt 2-1 a pitch switches at a strike on the edge of the plate two2 count B trying to set the tone for this inning smacks one up the middle bouncer over to short handled cleanly that was a pretty good running grab there from Seth Peterson for Gillette that’ll be out number one a 63 put out all right Dawson inhofer now up one for three in the dirt one out anher takes one very high that’s where having like a 6′ five catcher really helps you out um in Hope for on the day one for three with a single and a stolen base two parto gives him a strike on the outside of the plate right part low two one swung on grounded over to Second kabach kabaker makes the out and now two outs here in the bottom of seventh kefir now uh he was the first guy or he was the first hard hat to get a hit off of part low he did that last inning came around to score chance here to get another and maybe two out rally heart low getting up there on the pitch count take it at the shoulders one out swing and a miss on a fast ball kef for a little bit below that pitch one one ball in the dirt makes it 2-1 bartlo another fast ball gets by kefir he keeps on swinging underneath these high fast balls you’d have to think part low would give him another here um to try to finish him off two two swung on and barely got a piece of it that one might have been off the end of the bat very close to the end of the bat reaching for one that was nearing the other batters box but he’ll get a piece of it stay alive two two count try to make a two- out rally happen part fast ball he squares it up over to short Handle by Peterson keeper fast and the ball goes over the head of Peterson bounces right off the Dugout back out to first base area but an infield single legged out by by ke NOP they’re going to rule that one in air so an E6 on Seth Peterson will allow kefir to reach first and now up comes Aiden Roberts he’s one for two or one for three on the day with a triple that could have been inside the Parker back in the second and a walk on a Full Count kefir has a stolen base to his name so far throwback good try not going to happen so yeah Roberts getting set hard hats still playing catch up that one is skyed up into right coming in is black he’ll make the grab so nobody scores in the bottom of the seventh partlo does a good job there but the 234 um in the do up could be a big could mean a big inning for the bottom of the eth recap that inning for the hard hats no hits turn into no runs no earned runs one error on the short stop Seth Peterson and one man left on to bring the left on base total up to 11 both teams with 12 hits in this game pitching is simultaneously been lackluster and Stellar the offenses both simultaneously been have been raking and Fa just score a lot so entering the top of the eighth Jaden Mareno going to come back out for his second inning of work he’ll start off with the nine hole hitter then move to the one and two second basem Mason kabaker going to be up here in the N or in from the nine hole to start out the eth thank you all for watching hard hats TV we’ve still still got two more Innings left to go in this one which is turning into probably the most exciting uh one of the most exciting game start to finish of any one we’ve had in this season so far for the hard hats 76 Mareno starts out fast ball down the middle 01 kabaker with that smaller Strike Zone a little lower to the ground he has two walks so far curveball softly hit over to Roberts he’ll keep it into his glove throw a first a lot harder than it needed to be but he makes the out testing out the testing out the shoulder I guess so 53 put out we’ll put the first man away and bring up Seth Peterson Peterson just one for three on the day struck out twice so far he also had an error in the bottom of the seventh bouncer goes foul first pitch strike Mareno done a great job of getting that first pitch strike and getting ahead in the count so far which has been a a key to his success so an 0 one curveball a little out outside one one one one swing and a miss strike two the stretch out curveball there able to entice Peterson into a bad swing one two count bent sets up on the inside of the plate strike three pinpoint fast ball there from Moreno sits down the leadoff man and it’ll bring up Dominic Hecker with nobody on and two out second strike out first one looking for Moreno today trying to keep this a one a one-run game popped out of play so for the third time this inning first pitch strike you should look at the splits the difference between an 01 count and a 10 count is the difference between being like Barry Bonds and like Derek Dietrich or like I don’t know Jung hul king or something so one- one count grounded right back up the middle and it will get through so not a spotless inning here for Mar as Hecker gets a single but it’ll bring up um Brian Schilling who is having a rough day at the plate 0 for four so far if he can get out of this it would give the part of the hard hats order um a good chance to score the Run they need and tie things up if not take the lead pitch smacked up the line Roberts backhand grab throw to first perfect and that will be the inning fantastic play from Roberts backhand grab off a weird bounce and then he throws a strike with good velocity across the entirety of the infield way before the batter even gets there so now bottom of the eighth hard hats going to bring up their two three and four that’s Morgan Dietrich and poock oh some adjustments on the defensive end part low going back to first I think that I think that Foss is just gone yeah Foss just go to the or is he going behind the plate no Foss is gone Schilling still back there or it doesn’t matter they’re doing warm-up pitches but they have a new pitcher part low still at first or back at first after a very good relief outing on the mound we got number 14 a new player into the game which which explains foss’s movement out of the lineup is Grayson sergeant so Sergeant on the mound for the eighth inning here heart low goes back to First and it will mean that Foss is going to be removed from the um eight hole of the lineup for sergeant I believe Sergeant some sort of makes a commit to somebody let me double check yeah University of Jamestown in North Dakota is where he is committed to play after this year the right-handed pitcher so chance for it’s not going to be an easy um not going to be probably any relief from partlo as you get Sergeant who if I were to guess is their closer he’s definitely coming in to close this game out but going to be a a tough one to get through he has to get by Jace Morgan who is three or two for three on the day with a walk as well he scored two runs strike delivered on the outside edge to the Lefty Morgan Morgan two runs um including an infield single and an RBI 01 bun shown it’s a good one but maybe a little strong scooped up at third throw to first not going to be in time Morgan legs it out his second field single this one a bunt single and the leadoff man is aboard exciting play there and now it’ll bring up Dietrich Dietrich two for four on the game with an RBI double back in the first and just two innings ago had a um single got all the way to third before getting left there swing and a miss strike one Morgan hasn’t stolen a base yet but I wouldn’t be shocked if he took off he is very fast 01 to Dietrich Dietrich the RBI leader on the season for the hard hats extra base hit would tie things up unless it’s a homer and it would take the lead High bouncer up the middle it is muffed by the short stop Peterson and the hard hats breathe a sigh of relief as now two men on and still nobody out on what could have been a double play that is a costly error from Peterson he plac his glove a little too high and maybe started to look into the first baseman before watch seeing the glove or seeing the ball into his glove so that’ll be an E6 the second one of the game for Peterson and that’ll allow instead of a double play two men on nobody out and the go-ahead run and tying run both aboard for Hayden holik the cleanup man with a couple messy bases for him to look at so hollly is two for three on the day with a walk as well he’s been very good and the cleanup man with two Runners on Big Moment here Sergeant checks back no bo I don’t know what box are anymore I don’t think I ever knew but I really don’t know now I thought it was when you started your motion and you you didn’t throw a pitch I don’t know doing something’s coming out of his pocket he’s got to tuck it back in something like that holl still waiting for the first pitch hollock awaiting Sergeant keeps checking back on Morgan delivers the first pitch it’s in the dirt a bunt was shown but pulled back one out so one o count bunt would be an interesting play from torvi he would put the tying run in scoring position even a sacrifice pulls it back swings did not show bunt that time fouled that one off Roo does a little behind the back toss to himself that was cute all right one one one1 Sergeant showing off his grip to the batters and one1 bunch shown popped up and harmlessly foul everybody was chasing for it the whole infield came in um but nobody was able to make that grab because it went to foul territory so now with two outs does he continue to bunt probably not that’s what the first base side is saying if he gets a good bun it’s still worth it and maybe he could get a hit that first base is not playing in on him but if he hits a foul like he has the other two times um then he’s in trouble swung on and he will golf that one down into right field Morgan going to hold up at third base is loaded nobody out a beautiful little Golf Club chipper into right field loading the bases still nobody out hard hats with a Chance not only to tie but to take the lead as Aaron roach comes up to B roach started out hot with an RBI single had the game time sack fly in the bottom of the sixth and then struck out twice so he’s officially one for three with two RBI trying to bring in everybody here a single might bring in the go-ahead run honestly Dietrich a surprisingly fast uh or I suppose I shouldn’t say surprising for a first baseman he’s very fast 01 taken high at the top of the shoulders 111 on Deck take cross high in inside he’ll back off from the plate and it’s a 2-1 first baseman playing in thinking maybe there could be a bunt situation try to do a squeeze play this could end up biting him though roach has a lot of a lot of Outfield ground that he can hit it now with the right fielder playing pretty deep that is hit High into the sky and left Center going back is going to be Hawk he’ll make the grab everybody moving up a base the cut off man no throw comes and the game is tied up on another sack fly from Aaron roach that’s just the first out of the inning as well roach doing a great job of just getting hard contact bringing in those Runners he’s up to three RB in the day Dietrich now on third a play he’s been twice today he scored one of those times he did not the other and up to bat take Crossway never mind he will at some point be up to bat right now they’re going to start talking to Sergeant in this pivotal moment this is a heck of a game we’ve seen today I don’t think I need to say that for you 14 hits for the hard hats 13 hits for joette it is a tied 77 game this has been as evenly matched as you can conceivably get really intentional walk of Tate Crossway first time I’ve seen that on Tate in a minute I think they did that to Falls West last year [Music] 11 so now they’ve intentionally walked cross weight scared of the hammer that he brings to the plate and the sack fly that could happen instead they’re giving it to Philip B maybe not a good choice honestly b a better average hitter also a very hard guy to get out on a double play just going to say it if you’re looking for a double play right now which you might been by the intentional walk Phil’s not going to be the easy one ball taken outside also Philip Benz fantastic plate discipline um very hard guy to get out at the plate he probably sees this at bad as like how do I how do I get a walk here showing the Target off to the right that is hit hard into left Center Dube makes the grab dreo makes the grab to the cutoff man and the game for the first time since the first inning of this game the hard hats on top on a sacrifice fly from Philip B no other Runners move on afraid of the D1 quarterback arm that droo has but that’s an RBI for for Philip B still two men on still one out there was a pitch there I didn’t know what it was Dawson inhofer is here now shows bunt pulls back or no he doesn’t the ball just goes over his Bat see what the Empire holds up he does not all right a one andher one for four on the but a very good contact guy all in all time called hardat trying to set a new high score for this game getting a third uh getting a third run in the inning so far we’ve had six times that a team has scored three runs or more or no seven times that a team has scored two runs um and zero times that somebody has scored three runs which is kind of crazy seven times versus nobody gets over two one- one count now here to inhofer short stop playing very close to the middle steps off checks on the runner there was nobody there to like throw back to that’s so he makes no throw infield playing pretty out right now swing and a miss on on high heat for inhofer one two inhofer I believe is sophore one of the younger hard hats on this team getting ready Sergeant swing and a miss strike three he’s able to get out of the inning but the hard hats scored two more and take the lead with a chance to shut out the Gillette Riders and get the victory in the ninth inning final three outs possibly coming up what a game this has been in the top of the or the bottom of the eighth hard hats two hits turn into two runs neither of them are earned there is one error on Peterson on Seth Peterson and two men are left aboard it is now eight to S hard hats possessing their first lead since the top of the second inning in this instant classic going to have a chance to close out the game here they do not get an easy stretch of the lineup though they have to face the heart the three four and five with several College athletes in there they’ll have to face Riley Schilling to lead off this one shilling the sou Falls commit not had the best day so far but hey he’s stle a su falls okay new pitcher in for the hard hats coming in as the closer Ryan neab Bower he has one save on the year Jade Moreno in position for the win neab bow just a freshman going to come in in one of the biggest positions period in this season he came in when the hard hats had a five run top of the ninth to beat the billing Scarlets and closed out that game he’s going to try to close this one out as well oh I’m wrong I don’t remember what Schmidt did but he was out in the last inning so that means Mason Drew going to lead off here he’s two for four with a triple and a double so far in this game as well as a strikeout and a line out Dro five power conference offers for football one of the highest recruited um Wyoming football prospects period in their history adds a strike captain caml from the Campbell County camels up to backat 01 neab power he’s got some speed on him just like his older brother low pitch will go wide or go down for a ball one one count what a game this has been the pitch swing and a miss on one at the knees a beautiful straight air or just like a I don’t know what you call you call it a frozen rope right directly at home plate no drop no nothing he threw a laser right into the glove of Philip Ben for strike two the pitch popped up into the infield kefir calling for it in Shallow center field and he will make the grab the first one put away in the top of the ninth inning [Music] Carter partlo now up he’s had a heck of a game two for three two runs a walk and an RBI in addition to the fact that he pitched three innings in relief only allowing two runs neab bow a strike delivered on the outside of the plate for the first one he did the thing he did the same thing his brother does oh he threw he pitched so hard his helmet fell off 01 delivers another one one1 I notice he’s got the bent elbow not as wide he shortened his mechanics that’s what Lucas G Alo did to gain an advantage and become an ace that’s another strike the fast ball yet again Finds Its Zone one two gives him more control over it when he shortens it uh at the price of a low velocity one two [Applause] barely misses I bet that was one of the ones that would have um that that pitch on like a stat cast or something you’d see a little a little edge of the ball in the zone but not enough to call it a strike so two two neab power delivers swing and a miss strike three the off speed Fool’s part low and the second out is recorded first K of the day for neab BAU and the hard hats just one out away from from winning this Marathon instant classic 8 to7 over Gillette he’s got to get through Riley Hawk though that’s popped up kefir wants it he squeezes it and that’s it the hard hats Come Away with
