The Adel-DeSoto-Minburn Baseball team raced to their 12th win of the season against conference opponent Ballard behind amazing pitching from Grant Rychnovsky.

The Tigers honored Senior Rhylan Stine-Smith prior to the game on Thursday. The Tigers beat the Bombers 4-0 in Adel as they avenged their earlier loss on May 30th. ADM scored two runs in the second innings, one in the fourth, and one in the fifth.

Rychnovsky finished doing 2-3 and Hudson Lewerke went 2-3 with two RBIs. Stine-Smith says that over his four years playing for the Tigers, he’s done his best to coach the younger players.

“It’s been really good to see these young guys’ process and being the oldest guy now, I got to be able to coach them up and help them out as much as I can.”

The Bombers’ Nic Schonhorst pitched two innings, allowed three hits, one run, and had one strikeout.
