RAPID CITY - The Rapid City Angels rallied on two different occasions to top the Renner Roadrunners, 8-7, in 12 innings, during the South Dakota Class A amateur baseball tournament at McKeague Field on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

The Angels rallied from three-run deficits in the 6th and 11th innings before winning the game on a Billy Dwyer single in the bottom of the 12th. Dwyer hit a sharp grounder with runners on first and second to the Renner first baseman, but the ball took a big hop and found its way into right field. Pinch runner Lance Van Zee came around from second base to score the winning run.

"My hamstring was screaming at me," Van Zee joked after the game. "But I was going to make it no matter what."

Both teams advance to the next weekend of the state tournament, which begins Friday in Mitchell. The Angels will take on the Renner Monarchs at 2 p.m. on Friday while the Roadrunners will play Vermillion.

Renner took an early 3-0 lead with single runs scored in the third, fourth and fifth innings before Rapid City's Greg Geary slammed a Dan Morrison offering over the left-field fence to tie the game with a three-run homer in the sixth inning. The Angels tacked on another run to take a 4-3 lead when John Sayles hit one of his two doubles on the day to drive in Scott Carlson.

Renner came back and tied the game in the ninth after starter Zach Vlietstra lost his control, before Renner looked like it took control of the game in the top of the 11th. The Roadrunners' first three hitters in the inning reached on an error, hit batter and a bunt single before another walk pushed in a run to make it 5-4. The next Renner batter hit a grounder back to reliever Tim Long who went home with the ball to get the lead runner, but Sayles couldn't handle the throw and two runs came home to make it 7-4.

The Angels came back in the bottom of the inning as Sayles slammed his second double of the day to begin the inning and Long got one of his two hits before Vlietstra knocked in Van Zee - Sayles' courtesy runner - to make it 7-5.

Billy Dwyer was hit by a pitch as the next batter to load the bases before Mark Mendel knocked in Long on an RBI groundout to make it 7-6.

The Roadrunners brought in Tyler Pierson to intentionally walk Geary and face Kasey Keller.

Keller grounded to third and the throw got Vlietstra, but the Sioux Falls catcher tried to double up Keller at first, allowing Dwyer to come around and score the tying run.
