Behind a gem from Keagan Miedema and a four-run first inning, the Pella baseball team picked up a non-conference win 4-0 over South Tama, as heard live on 92.1 KRLS Tuesday.

Miedema struck out 10 Trojans batters, including five in the first two innings, in a seven-inning shutout that took just 1 hour, 25 minutes to complete. He was buoyed by a five-hit stretch in the first three outs from his hitters, which included RBI hits from Jason Knox, Ryan Mace, and Gage Gift.

However, the offense went cold after the first inning surge, a common issue early in the season, according to Head Coach Jesse Jablonski.

Pella improves to 8-3, and will join the softball team in welcoming the summer teams from Dallas Center-Grimes to PHS this evening. First pitch on both diamonds is at 7:15 p.m.
