The Spearfish Sasquatch have been waiting for their bats to wake up this season, and after two impressive wins back-to-back, their patience is coming to fruition.

Starting pitcher Cam Hoiland dominated on the mound, and the Sasquatch offense drove across eight runs in an 8-6 victory against the Gem City Bison.

After winning the first game Tuesday night against the Bison 7-2, the Squatch continued their success with runners in scoring position in Wednesday's matchup.

Second baseman Ryan Bachman went 2-for-5 with a double and a triple, driving across two runs for Spearfish.

In a 3-1 game favoring Spearfish, the Sasquatch added on five runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to make it an 8-1 game.

Cam Hoiland took care of the rest on the mound.

Hoiland pitched six innings of one-run, five-hit ball on his way to earning a win for the Sasquatch, who have defeated the Bison in the first two of three games in this series. While allowing the five hits and walking four Bison hitters, Hoiland found a way to eliminate potential damage through soft contact and ground balls.

 In the top of the third with runners on, Hoiland caught a ground ball on the mound and threw to shortstop Johnny McHenry for an eventual 1-6-3 double play.

 The Bison were unable to find an answer offensively through the first six innings, only scoring one run. In the last three innings, Gem City began pushing runs across, with two in the 7th and 8th and one run in the 9th. However, the late scoring surge was not enough for the Bison, as Sasquatch closer Dylan Richey struck out the two batters he faced in the 9th to end the scoring threat and ensure the Sasquatch's seventh win of the season.

With tonight's win, the Spearfish Sasquatch improve to 7-16 on the year and look to sweep the series Thursday night.
