A stellar afternoon by Kade Russell on the hill would lead Watertown Post 17 past Rapid City 320 2-1.  The purple and gold took the series 2-0 to send them to the Class A Legion Tournament for the first time in two years.

Russell would throw the complete game, hurling only 62 pitches and allowing three hits, one run, and fanning four.

Watertown would also step up their defense turning the double play to end the sixth inning:
