What was scheduled for last night was postponed to tonight due to weather, and while the Trojans avoid the rain they run right into what is expected to be mid 90’s and humid weather for their substate match up against Van Meter tonight.
The Trojans played the Bulldogs previously in the season and fell 11-1, but this Trojans team has a lot of confidence going into the game as they have won 17 of their last 19 games. The Bulldogs are a well-rounded squad, as they boast impressive numbers on both the offensive and pitching sides of the ball. The Trojans journey through the postseason has been full of close fights and outperforming expectations, and they will need to bring their entire skill set to the table tonight. Likely starter for Pleasantville Zeb Adreon boasts a 4-1 record with a 1.46 ERA and 54 K’s in just 33 2/3 innings pitched, and more importantly for the young Trojans brings a lot of postseason experience from the squads postseason run to the state championship game one year ago. A First pitch is scheduled for 7pm in Indianola.
