BRITTON – The Aberdeen Smittys won a rare tripleheader of sorts on Sunday, claiming American Legion baseball wins over three different opponents in an event at Britton.
The Smittys edged Platte-Geddes 2-1, blanked Milbank 15-0, and stopped the Britton Lumberjacks 10-5.
Aberdeen rallied from a 1-0 deficit with two runs in the win over Platte-Geddes. Karson Borge scored on a single by Lance Siefken to tie the game in the third, before Talan Dutenhoeffer and Borge hit back-to-back doubles to plate what proved to be the winning run in the fourth.
Joran Foss struck out seven batters and allowed just one earned run in five innings on the mound for the Smittys.
Aberdeen scored in all six innings in the victory over Milbank.
Jaxon Ladner had a two-run double in a four-run first inning and a two-run home run in a seven-run sixth frame.

Jehiel Aviles had four hits, including a RBI single in the fifth, and a run-producing double in the sixth. Borge had a two-run single in the sixth.
Borge finished with three hits, while Borge and Cogley each added two. Michael Dutenhoffer went five innings on the mound, struck out seven and allowed just one hit.
Aberdeen pulled away from a 5-4 lead with a five-run fifth inning to fuel the victory over Britton.
Foss had a two-run home run, and Ridley Waldo a two-run single to highlight the frame.
Waldo, Foss, Cogley, and Grant Beyer each finished with two hits to lead the Smittys. Cogley also drove in three runs.
Bryce Hawkinson and Colton Chapin each had a pair of hits to top the Lumberjacks.
The Smittys will host Pierre in a doubleheader on Wednesday at Fossum Field. First pitch is set for 4 p.m.
