Now that the state of Iowa has had its bath, with enough water leftover to dampen the spirits of local baseball fans, Pella High and Dallas Center – Grimes will once again try to lace up the cleats and play their first round Class 3A state tournament game this morning. The game will not have that “state tournament” feel to it, however. Today’s bout will be on the diamond of Southeast Polk, due to the weather causing more delays for yesterday’s quarterfinals. Harlan and Dubuque Wahlert will also play their round one match this morning at around 11:30, following the Pella – D-C-G squabble. The winner of those two games will, hopefully, be in the friendly confines of Principal Park for the semifinals on Friday afternoon. You can hear today’s game live on 92.1 KRLS and KNIAKRLS.com. Trevor Castle has the call, with pre-game coverage set to begin at around 8:45 with first pitch at around 9:00.
