Pella’s baseball team put together a late rally, but fell short in a non-conference contest with Centerville, 11-9.

The Little Dutch trailed by as many as six, but scored a run in the fifth and three in the sixth to close within two.  However, they went down in order in the seventh.

Landon Vander Leest was 3-4 with two doubles, a triple, two runs and an RBI, and Aaron Downs was 2-4 with a homer, double, three runs and two RBI.

Pella falls to 9-8 on the season and travels to Norwalk tonight for a varsity doubleheader beginning at 5:30.  You can hear game two of the twinbill on 92.1 KRLS, with pregame at approximately 7:15.
