Aug. 9—MITCHELL — A pile of defensive miscues didn't help Four Corners' day at the Class B state amateur baseball tournament Sunday in the first round as Hartford/Humboldt Wood Ducks rang up the runs to the tune of a 13-2 first-round victory.
Four Corners had 10 errors on defense and the Wood Ducks had 10 hits in the contest, as the Wood Ducks had scored three runs each in the third, fifth and eighth inning and punctuated the victory with four runs in the ninth.
Eight Wood Ducks had at least one hit in the game. Curtis Flint had four RBIs, and Keaton Vessells had a triple and drove in two runs. C.J. Den Boer had two hits and Brodie Herr scored three times for the Wood Ducks.
Drew Eldeen earned the win on the hill for the Wood Ducks, tallying five strikeouts while allowing four hits, two runs and pitching four innings. Ben Honkomp threw the final five innings and allowed two hits and struck out five Four Corners hitters.
The Wood Ducks' win makes it six of seven Cornbelt League state qualifiers to reach the round of 16. The Ducks (17-6) will take on fellow Cornbelt squad — the Flandreau Cardinals — at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the second round.
