Back-and-forth the pitchers went between Pella Christian and West Marshall, but it was the Eagles that found the runs needed to advance in a 2-0, 10-inning 2A District Final classic heard live on 92.1 KRLS.

Neither offense could solve either starter, as Will Dembski and Ryan Reyerson drew even and scoreless into the late innings. Relievers Cam Bannister for the Trojans and Devin Haveman found similar success in keeping the offenses quiet into extra innings, until a bases-loaded, no-out scenario turned into a pair of error-aided runs in the top of the 10th for Pella Christian. A relatively quiet inning for Haveman in the bottom of the 10th, aided by solid defense, gave the Eagles the win.

Haveman and Dembski combined to throw a 10-inning no-hitter. The Eagles are 17-14 and head to the 2A Substate Final to take on North Linn Tuesday night. The game at Van Horne in Benton can be heard live on 92.1 KRLS.
