Mudcats earn No. 1 seed in District 5B
Up until 12 days ago, the Parkston Mudcats were undefeated in the Sunshine League and the odds-on favorite to run through the 2010 South Dakota Amateur Baseball Association District 5B tournament.
But that was then.
After the Mudcats came to Mitchell and beat the Mad Dogs 8-5 on July 8 to move to 15-0 in league play, they dropped their final two league games — against Mount Vernon and Dimock/Emery. And the recent vulnerability of the league’s top team has made this week’s District 5B tournament a much more interesting one to watch.
