Pella Christian’s boys and girls of summer travelled to Albia last night, with the baseball team earning a win and the softball team losing on a walk-off hit. Meanwhile, the Pella High softball team suffered the same fate at Colfax-Mingo.

Pella Christian’s baseball team knocked off the Blue Demons 7-4, rallying from a 2-0 hole.

Lawson Bruxvoort started the scoring for Pella Christian with an RBI single and a wild pitch tied the score. Cole Vander Voort then delivered an RBI single to give P.C. a 3-2 lead and Mac Sarver broke it open with a two-run single.

Scott Haveman knocked in the final two runs on a sacrifice fly and an RBI single.

Kyle Sneller got the win on the mound for Pella Christian, who improves to 3-1 on the season.

Pella Christian’s softball team lost to Albia 4-3 when the Lady Dees got a walk off single in the bottom of the seventh. Back-to-back Eagle errors put the eventual tying and winning runs on base.

The Eagles scored when Amanda Harrill’s groundout plated Lizzy Van Maanen in the second inning, followed immediately by a Natalie Vos RBI single to score Sophie Howerzyl.

After Albia tied the game in the third, P.C. reclaimed the advantage on a fifth inning RBI single by Kirsten Vander Hart that scored Brooke Mitrisin.

Pella Christian is now 2-1.

For the Pella High softball team, a five run third inning wasn’t enough. Colfax-Mingo scored solo runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings to force extras, and then won on a walk-off double.

Destiny Brown, Ally Almond and Sabrina Tallman all had two hits for the Lady Dutch and Almond drove in a pair and stole a base.

Pella falls to 2-4 on the season.

Tonight, the teams retake the field for the first Little Hawkeye Conference action of the summer, with Pella playing host to Pella Christian in both baseball and softball.
