The Adel-DeSoto-Minburn Tigers are set to close out their regular season on Monday, traveling to Merchants Park in Carroll for a pivotal matchup that could define the remainder of their campaign.
A Dual‑Threat Performer
Junior outfielder and right‑hander Ben Plaisance has emerged as the team’s most consistent offensive weapon, boasting a .300‑plus average that includes 20 singles and two doubles for a total of 22 hits.
At the plate he has also contributed 11 runs and eight RBIs, numbers that place him at the top of the lineup and help the Tigers stay competitive in a 12‑17 season.
On the mound, Plaisance has logged a 3‑2 record while striking out 40 batters over 34 innings, allowing just 21 runs and keeping his ERA within a manageable range for a junior pitcher.
Looking Ahead
With the Tigers sitting 5‑10 in the Raccoon River Conference, the upcoming game offers a chance to finish the regular season on a positive note and build momentum heading into the postseason.
