A night after the Spearfish Sasquatch clinched a playoff berth in a walk-off win over the Badlands Big Sticks, they kept their foot on the gas pedal all night in game four.

Center Fielder Griffin Shearon broke a tied game with a bases-clearing double in the sixth inning, and Spearfish added on from there, defeating the Big Sticks 15-8 in the fourth game of a five-game series on Friday night.

Coming into Friday’s matchup, the Sasquatch had taken the first three games of the series in nail-biting fashion. However, in a bullpen game between both teams, the Spearfish offense formed a comfortable lead in the later innings to set the commanding tone for the rest of the game.

Down 6-1 in the second inning, the Sasquatch offense fired back completely, scoring six of their own in the bottom half of the inning. With both teams tied at eight in the sixth, Shearon drove in three runs to push the Sasquatch ahead for their first lead since the first inning.

After a three-run eighth to add insurance, Spearfish easily maintained the seven-run lead with a shutdown ninth inning from reliever Damon Gaither.

Spearfish tallied its 15 runs on 14 hits, only adding to the monstrous tear that the offense has experienced in the past few weeks.

With the playoffs starting on Sunday night, a few Spearfish starters earned the day off, giving reliever Dylan Richey the opportunity to play in right field. After saving the first two games of the series for the Sasquatch, Richey reached his inning limit for the summer, but continued to contribute, going 2-for-3 with two walks in his first lineup start of the season.

Designated hitter Ryan Doran went 2-for-4 with two RBIs, while catcher Davis Carr added three hits of his own to pad the Sasquatch lead late in the game.

The Big Sticks added eight runs on 10 hits and five errors, with a few of the errors proving costly as a couple of Sasquatch runs scored as a result.

After the Big Sticks loaded the bases with one out in the seventh, pitcher Jack Hostetler took the mound, striking out back-to-back Badlands hitters to end the inning and keep the score a four-run game.

Spearfish improves to 17-10 in the second half of the season, pushing their win streak to four games in a row. After losing the first five of six games against Badlands to begin the season, the Sasquatch look to end the regular season with a series sweep of the Big Sticks on Saturday before beginning the divisional playoffs at home on Sunday evening.
