If there was any skepticism on whether the Spearfish Sasquatch had truly found their rhythm, that doubt can be thrown away.

Second baseman Bailey Bordas hit a bases-clearing double to drive in three runs, and the Sasquatch offense came alive for the second game in a row to defeat the Badlands Big Sticks 14-9 Sunday evening.

A night after scoring fifteen runs on sixteen hits, the Sasquatch did much of the same in the final game of the series, driving in fourteen runs behind seventeen hits. After a slow start to the season, the Spearfish offense was relentless against opposing pitching during the six-game homestand. The Sasquatch swept the Gem City Bison in three games and won two of three against the Big Sticks to take the series win and end the home stretch with a 5-1 record.

The Sasquatch attacked Big Sticks starting pitcher Sam Marhefke early, as he was replaced on the mound before the end of the second inning. Marhefke was tagged for six runs on eight hits through 1.2 innings. The Squatch went on to score eight more times throughout the game, hammering home the "scoring early and often" principle that the team struggled with in the early weeks of the season.

Bailey Bordas enjoyed his start at second base after a slow start to the season offensively, going 3-for-5 and driving in three runs. Catcher Keenan O'Brien and center fielder Carson Green joined in on the fun as both players went 3-for-4 on the night. Green knocked in two Squatch runs, while O'Brien added an RBI, as well.

The Big Sticks pitching staff had no answer for the Squatch defensively, as Spearfish seemed to cancel out many Badlands runs that the Big Sticks scored earlier. The Sasquatch tallied 35 runs through the three-game set, much improved from their first matchup against the Big Sticks that kicked off the season.

Defensively, the pitching for Spearfish continued to impress against a very solid lineup in the Big Sticks.

Sasquatch starter Hunter Polley struggled with his command on the mound, only going three innings and surrendering five runs on only two hits. Polley walked in a couple of runs before being taken out in the fourth inning.

Reliever Jackson Betancourt had a strong appearance out of the bullpen to back Polley, going the distance in the game's middle innings. Betancourt pitched 4 innings of five-hit, two-run ball in his second outing since injuring his shoulder earlier in the season.

The seventeen hits for the Sasquatch in game three were a season-high, besting the game two's hit total by one.

The Sasquatch improve to 10-17 on the season after their 5-1 home stand, and they take their momentum on the road in a three-game set against the Fremont Moo.
