The Parkston Mudcats amateur baseball club is proud to be a part of it. Parkston Mudcats shortstop Brayden Jervik fields a bouncing ground ball during a Class B state amateur baseball tournament first-round game against Elk Point on Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2026, at Cadwell Park. In 2019, the Mudcats had a long streak of state tournament qualification snapped, and they also missed out in 2021 and 2022. Nolz believes that the town even has the talent and passion to field a third amateur team. “Parkson baseball is thriving, and it really always has been,” said Harris, who also coaches the Parkston High School baseball team during the spring season.
