SPEARFISH — The Spearfish Sasquatch defeat the Badlands Big Sticks 7-6 Thursday night, in Spearfish, earning them a spot in the Independence League Baseball playoffs that starts Sunday.

“Making the playoffs was one of my goals when I got here. I wanted to make sure we got to the playoffs ant the first goal is achieved, but we aren’t done yet,” said Jarrett Hunt, the Sasquatch’s manager. “We got most of our runs early. They made a couple of errors that spotted us a few runs, and we spotted them some runs with walks and what not. It was a bit of an ugly game, but winning ugly is still winning.”

Bailey Bordas hit a walk off single in the bottom of the 10th inning, scoring Ryan Bachman and giving Spearfish the win 7-6, and assuring the Sasquatch a spot in the Independence League Baseball playoffs, that begin Sunday, in Spearfish.

Bailey Bordas led Spearfish with three hits and three rbi’s.

David Dielman was the winning pitcher going three innings and giving up one run on two hits. He walked four and struck out one.
