Tabor punched their ticket to the Region 4B Baseball Championship last night with a shutout victory over Parkston, on the back of fourteen strikeouts from pitcher Riley Rothschadl over 6 and 2/3rds innings.
At the plate for Tabor, Rothschadl scored two runs of his own, while Easton Mudder went 2 for 4 with two RBI as well. Tabor has yet to find out who they play in Saturday’s championship, as the consolation bracket has more games to be played today.
