Prior to this summer, the Pella baseball team hadn’t won in the postseason since they last made it to the state tournament in 2016. Apparently, the Dutch were saving wins in their back pocket, and have put together a strong run to the new home of the state tournament at the University of Iowa over the past few weeks in Class 3A Substate 7. The two-seeded Dutch toppled Knoxville, Newton, and Grinnell and enter the final eight of Class 3A as the three seed. On Thursday, the Iowa High School Athletic Association released the brackets, and Pella will take on #1 Assumption in the opening game at Duane Banks Field on the campus of the University of Iowa. Coverage of that game begins Monday at 11 a.m. on 92.1 KRLS.
