“We just are not playing very good baseball right now,” said coach Drew Weber.
“We can put things together in bits and pieces but we just haven’t really put a full game together. This was our first game in which we had our full team there, which helps, but we need our pitchers to throw more strikes and our defense to be able to limit errors better. We have plenty of time to put things together,” said Weber.
On Thursday the Winner Junior Legion team traveled to Onida for a double-header against Sully Buttes.
In game 1, Winner won 7-3.
Jacob Beckers started on the mound and threw 3 innings, allowing 1 run. Fred Whiting and Phil Jorgensen pitched in relief.

Joren Bruun started on the hill and pitched 2 innings. Kameron Meiners, Evan Farner, and Phil Jorgensen all pitched in relief, as Winner worked with a strict pitch count in preparation for Sunday’s round-robin.
At the plate Colby Kaiser had a big night, going 3 for 5 with two home runs and 3 RBI’s said coach Kory Foss.
Fred Whiting was 3 for 4 with a home run and 3 RBI’s as well. Oscar Pravecek, Farner, Jorgensen, and Meiners added hits as well.
“I saw a lot of good things in our two games in Onida, and it’s great to get out of there with two wins. At the same time, we struggled in certain areas and understand there’s always room for improvement. In the first game we got to start some guys who maybe haven’t gotten as much playing time at certain points, and I thought they really did a nice job. It’s one of the reasons I really appreciate having double-headers like this, because I know I can everyone involved. It’s not always easy having a roster of 17 and trying to work everyone into one 7-inning game while trying to find a way to win,” said the coach
Foss added: “The second game had a little bit of everything. We had a couple nice innings to start, but left the bases loaded in each of the first three innings. That’s happened often lately, where we fail to put a team away early and as a result end up in a close game at the end. We went into the 7th ahead 9-3 but they really made it a ballgame and it was more nerve wracking than it had to be.”
Sunday Winner defeated Wagner 6-3 at home.
Joren Bruun threw 6 2/3 innings on the mound. Kameron Meiners finished the game.
On offense Meiners had 2 hits and 2 RBI’s. Oscar Pravecek had 2 hit’s and an RBI. Fred Whiting also added a hit and RBI.
“Joren threw just a phenomenal game. Probably the best start we’ve had so far this year. He located his fastball well, and his curve had nice bite to it. He met his pitch limit with 2 outs in the 7th so Kameron came in to finish the game.
“We missed some plays in the field and had a couple mental lapses that led to a few runs and probably ran up Joren’s pitch count higher than it had to be. I told the kids the first 4 innings of this game was probably the best we’ve looked so far this year, they were crisp in the field, battled at the plate, and Joren was humming. But we struggled in the field after that, and it’s important for the kids to know if we’re going to win the big games at the end of the year when it really matters, we need to be sharp for all 7 innings, not 4 or 5,” said Foss
With the win Winner moved to 10-2 on the year.

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has ruled in favor of South Dakota in a case that establishes tax fairness between brick and mortar businesses and large, out-of-state online companies. The 5-4 ruling handed down today means South Dakota can require these large remote sellers to remit sales tax on purchases shipped into the state.
“To right one of the biggest wrongs that has happened to brick and mortar in retail history is probably the largest event that I have seen in my career,” stated Eric Sinclair of Montgomery’s Furniture of Sioux Falls, Madison and Watertown.
Before this ruling, remote sellers were not required to collect and remit sales tax on purchases unless they had a physical presence in the state.
“It’s almost a David and Goliath kind of a story, because South Dakota stood up for what was right for all the states and we prevailed,” said SDRA Board President Gary Cammack, owner of Cammack Ranch Supply in Union Center. “It will improve the revenue picture for all states across the US that depend on sales tax. It’s huge.”
The state of South Dakota had previously estimated an annual loss of approximately $50 million in revenue to the state and municipalities due to this loophole.
The South Dakota Retailers Association (SDRA) says this is a vital issue for Main Street retailers not only in South Dakota, but all across the nation. The Association’s leadership including former executive director, Shawn Lyons, played a pivotal role in the passage of the 2016 state law that led to the court case. The Association filed two briefs with SCOTUS in support of the State.
“This is absolutely a great day for brick and mortar retail,” said Dan Tribby of Prairie Edge in Rapid City. “It’ll forever be known as the day the field got leveled.”
The United States Supreme Court announced its decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., ruling in the state’s favor, 5-4, in a decision authored by Justice Anthony Kennedy. The court ruling was announced on June 21.
The Court overturned Quill Corp. v. North Dakota, holding that “the physical presence rule is not a necessary interpretation of the requirement that a state tax must be ‘applied to an activity with a substantial nexus with the taxing State.” The Court further held that, with South Dakota’s law, “the nexus is clearly sufficient based on both the economic and virtual contacts respondents have with the state.”
“This is a great day for South Dakota. We have long fought the battle to defend Main Street businesses and now with today’s ruling, all businesses will compete on a level playing field,” said Gov. Dennis Daugaard. “Thanks to all who helped us achieve this victory for tax uniformity – Sen. Deb Peters and all of the legislators who played a role, Attorney General Marty Jackley, and the national groups and 41 states that offered support.”
The case stemmed from a bill passed by the State Legislature and signed by Gov. Daugaard in 2016 which requires online sellers without a physical presence in South Dakota to collect and remit sales tax. The law applies to online sellers with more than $100,000 in sales to South Dakotans or 200 or more transactions.
Department of Revenue Secretary Andy Gerlach says the state will issue guidance in the coming days.
“We intend to do all we can to ensure compliance. Once we have thoroughly reviewed the opinion, the Department will offer specific guidance on how out-of-state online retailers that meet the threshold can comply,” said Secretary Gerlach. “The Department of Revenue will also continue to be a resource for in-state businesses that may be affected by the court’s decision.”
