MITCHELL — High temperatures pushed a Mitchell Black (14-and-under) doubleheader from Monday to Tuesday, which stacked with an already scheduled Mitchell White (13-and-under) doubleheader, creating a busy day for tenner baseball at the Cadwell Sports Complex.
But it was a successful one, nonetheless, as Mitchell Black split with Yankton, falling 2-1 before winning 7-6, and Mitchell White swept Brookings, 12-11 and 7-5.
