Pella Baseball Team Unable to Contain Ranked Johnston
Despite holding firm with four scoreless innings, #10 in 3A Pella could not hold off the lineup of #4 in Class 4A Johnston in a non-conference baseball tilt on Wednesday, falling 13-6. After zeros across the board for both teams, the Dragons overwhelmed Dutch pitching in the 5th to the tune of a 10-run top half of the inning. Pella would respond to avoid the mercy rule, scoring four times in the bottom of the 5th, before the road team added three more tallies in the top of the 6th. A two-run triple by Isaiah Kettler would mark the end of the runs between the teams in the bottom of the 6th before a scoreless final inning. Samuel Carlson finished 2-for-3 with a double, Anderson Schirm was 2-for-4, and Kettler added another hit in the effort. Pella falls to 21-8 and continues at home Friday vs. Ballard, a game that can be heard on 92.1 KRLS.
