Nearby thunderstorms ultimately cancelled the chances for Pella’s No. 14 ranked baseball and softball teams to test their abilities against the current state tournament favorites Tuesday. The Dutch missed out on the opportunity to take on the No. 1 ranked Comets from North Polk on both diamonds at home. With an off-day today and the final conference matchups of the summer looming later this week against Norwalk, both teams now await bracket releases for their postseason destinations, and each program is hopeful for either a first-round bye in softball and home field advantage in the first two rounds for baseball, with each aiming to be No. 2 seeds in their respective regions and districts. Pella softball travels to No. 2 in 4A Norwalk Thursday, with that game heard live on 92.1 KRLS, while the Dutch baseball squad heads to Norwalk Friday — a game that can be heard on the KNIA3 stream at KNIAKRLS.com and the mobile app.
