Summary
- Palace City Post 18 lost both games of a Saturday doubleheader.
- The team fell short in a late rally during the first game.
- A six-run inning proved decisive in the second game's outcome.
The Palace City Post 18 American Legion baseball team suffered two defeats on Saturday evening against Rapid City Post 320 at Drake Field. The initially scheduled three-game series was condensed to a doubleheader due to inclement weather predictions. The first game saw Post 18 narrowly lose 5-4 after a seventh-inning rally fell just short. Despite loading the bases, they could only manage one run, ending their threat with a groundout.
The second game concluded with a 10-8 score in favor of Post 320. A pivotal six-run fifth inning for the visitors shifted the momentum, establishing a lead that Post 18 could not overcome. Although Post 18 scored two runs in the sixth, they were unable to close the deficit further. Palace City Post 18's record now stands at 9-10 as they prepare for a road doubleheader against Harrisburg Gold on Tuesday.
