South Winneshiek back in state baseball tournament
CHARLES CITY — It’s 227 miles from Calmar to Carroll. That’s not exactly an easy or short trip. But by now, many in the South Winneshiek school district know the way. For the third straight year and the fifth time in six years, the Warriors earned a trip to the Iowa high school state baseball tournament with a 5-3 win over Don Bosco in a substate game on Tuesday night.
The Calmar Courier
CHARLES CITY - South Winneshiek earned a berth at state after besting Don Bosco 5-3 at substate. “The win didn't come easy and there were many momentum changes throughout the game,” said Coach Alex Smith. “The top of the first put the Warriors in a jam as Don Bosco loaded the bases with nobody out but Braiden Todd minimized the damage surrendering just one run. The Warriors responded right back in the bottom half of the first scoring two runs which included a Kole Hageman rbi single. The Warriors would add their third run in the second inning scoring on a Don Bosco error. Two bigs swing by the Warriors provided the rest of the scoring for the home team when Kole Hageman hit a solo homerun in the third inning and Parker Timp showcased his own power hitting a solo shot in the fifth inning getting the momentum back for the Warriors after Don Bosco had scored two runs in the top of the fifth inning to cut the lead to 4-3.”
