Pella baseball needs just 1 hit to win Iowa high school state title

Pella baseball needs just 1 hit to win Iowa high school state title
FROM SIOUX CITY. OH, IS THE TOWN OF PELLA FEELING SWEETER THAN A DUTCH LETTER RIGHT NOW? AFTER THE SOFTBALL TEAM TAKES HOME A STATE TITLE ON THURSDAY, FRIDAY, IT WAS TIME FOR THE BASEBALL TEAM TO FOLLOW SUIT. THE DUTCH TAKING ON DUBUQUE WAHLERT CATHOLIC IN THE THREE, A STATE BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, AND THE DUTCH SCORE FIRST. RUNNERS AT THE CORNER FOR LAKE COLEMAN, A LAZY LOOP TO RIGHT FIELD DROPS AND A RUN SCORES. IT IS SCORED AN ERROR, NOT AN HIT. IT’S ONE NOTHING WAHLERT WOULD GET THEIR CHANCE IN THE THIRD RUNNER ON THIRD. TWO OUTS. THE GROUND BALL HERE GOING TO JUST EAT UP NATHAN CAREY. THE GOLDEN EAGLES ARE ON THE BOARD AND WE ARE TIED AT ONE. AND FROM THEN ON OUT IT WAS A PITCHERS DUEL. SO MUCH SO THE DUTCH WERE HELD HITLESS WITH TWO OUTS AND TWO ON IN THE SEVENTH INNING. LANDON BETHARDS, THE HIT OF HIS LIFE, DRIVES THIS ONE OVER THE LEFT FIELDER’S HEAD AND DOWN. BOTH RUNS COME AROUND TO SCORE. PELLA LEADS 3 TO 1 ON THEIR FIRST AND ONLY HIT OF THE AFTERNOON, AND IN THE SEVENTH, TEGAN HOEKSTRA, WHO PITCHED A GEM ALL GAME LONG, IS GOING TO FINISH IT OFF. A FLY BALL TO RIGHT FIELD IS ROUTINE. A CAN OF CORN AND IT’S TIME TO CELEBRATE. PELLA IS TITLE TOWN THIS SUMMER AS THE DUTCH BASEBALL TEAM DEFEATS WAHLERT 3 TO 1. YOUR FINAL. LET’S GO. I KNEW IT WAS GOOD. I WAS OVEREXCITED, AND WHEN I SAW THE BALL HIT THE GROUND, I WAS JUST SO ECSTATIC AND THEN SCORED. THE EXTRA RUN CAME IN TO SCORE. IT WAS AWESOME. GOOD TO BE DUTCH. THAT’S ALL I GOT TO SAY.
