Two years ago, they had to travel to Washington to play Highland. Monday night, the Pella Christian softball team must tackle Iowa City Regina if they want to get to the Class 2A state tournament in Fort Dodge. Both teams rode dominant pitching and timely hitting to win their semifinal games on Friday. The match-up appears to be very even on paper; the Regals and Eagles have hit nearly the same number of home runs, with a similar on-base percentage. The tale of the tape in the center circle tells us a pitcher’s duel may be imminent; almost an “Ali vs. Frazier” match-up in Class 2A. Coach Karen Harrill says her team just needs to keep their same M.O. as in games past, and their advantage of playing in the Little Hawkeye Conference could pay dividends for them on Monday. Sarah Lehman has only a 12 – 10 record for the Regals, but her ERA is 1.37. A big key for the Eagles could be taking advantage of defensive miscues by Regina that have cost them in several games this year.
