Winner Junior Legion took two games from Mission in double header July 23 in Winner.
In the first game, Winner won 12-0 with Jacob Beckers throwing a no hitter in four innings. The game was shortened due to the 10 run rule.
On offense, Joren Bruun waIs 2 for 2 with 2 RBIs. Tyler Olson was 2-3 and drove in a run while Bosten Morehart added a hit and 2 RBIs.
In the second game, Winner defeated Mission 11-1 in five innings.
Fred Whiting led the way on offense going 3-3 with 2 RBIs. Oscar Pravecek and Kameron Meiners each added two hits. Landon Thieman drove in three runs.
Bruun started on the hill and went four innings giving up one run on three hits. Meiners worked a perfect inning in relief.
“We had a good night at the plate and on the mound and it showed in the final box score,” said coach Kory Foss. “In game 1, Jacob Beckers threw a great game completing our second no hitter in the last two weeks (Evan Farner had one against Brandon Valley). We worked quick and threw strikes and that’s what you have to do,” said the coach.
“Our bats came around in game 1 and it’s just one of those things where hitting is contagious and it continued all night. Hopefully, it gives the kids some confidence going into the stretch,” Foss said.

“The kids played two really good games today to finish up our regular season. I think both W.I.N. and Wessington Springs are solid teams, we just played well today – at the plate, on the mound, and on defense. It’s nice to end the regular season with two games like this to gain some momentum heading towards the state tournament next weekend. Kameron threw a great game against a good W.I.N line-up, and our offense made the most of their pitchers mistakes. In the second game against Wessington Springs our hitters really clicked. The thing I was most encouraged about was how well the bottom our order did. Our 6-9 guys had a big game, which always a good sign. I think the kids are ready for next weekend. We’ve spent all summer preparing for it and I believe we’re playing our best ball when it’s most important. I’m excited to see what the state tourney brings for us,” said coach Kory Foss.
Winner finish the regular season 19-10. The first round game at state will be Friday night at 7:45 pm against the winner of the Mission/Lennox game. The state junior Legion tournament is being held in Winner at Leahy Bowl Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
