The Harney All-Stars continued their offensive barrage, hitting four home runs on the way to an 8-3 victory over the Timberline All-Stars Sunday night.

Harney used scoring outbursts in the third and fourth innings, scoring seven of its eight runs in the two innings.

In the third inning, Noah Fenske started things off with a solo home run, before Tucker Berg later hit a two-run shot and Dmitri Bledsoe added another solo home run, giving Harney a 4-0 lead.

Bledsoe hit his fourth home run in two days in the fourth inning, a three-run blast to put the game out of reach.

"We work a lot on hitting and have a lot of power in the lineup," Harney head coach Raye Bledsoe said. "We have about six or seven kids that can drive the ball well all over the field. It's just good size and bat speed."

Berg also picked up the win on the mound working four innings. The win moves Harney to the semifinals with teams and times yet to be determined.

CANYON LAKE 6, RUSHMORE 3: The Canyon Lake All-Stars posted three runs in their final at-bat, all courtesy of the long ball, topping Rushmore, 6-3, at the North Dakota/South Dakota District 1 Little League Baseball Tournament at Red Pesek Field Sunday afternoon.

With the score knotted at 3-3 in the bottom of the fifth, Canyon Lake hit back-to-back homeruns. Taran Tucker first hit a two-run blast and then Nick Speck followed with a solo shot. Tucker also went 3-for-3 at the plate.

"Taran's been hitting the ball hard for us in the last couple games and that is Nick's second homerun in two games," said Canyon Lake head coach Steve Nolan. "You have to give Rushmore a lot of credit, their pitcher's threw the ball well. We just happened to get a couple big hits at the end."

T.J. Nolan picked up the victory on the mound for Canyon Lake in three innings of relief work. Canyon Lake advances to the single-elimination portion of the tournament with teams and times yet to be announced.
