indianola-3

A five run fifth inning for the Carlisle Wildcats was enough to gain a big enough lead against the Indianola baseball team Thursday evening, as the Indians fell 7-3 in their season opener in a game heard live on KNIA. The Wildcats struck first in the second inning, before Tyce Johnson hit a solo home run in the third inning to tie the game back up at 1. Carlisle struck again in the 3rd to have a 2-1 lead, before the fifth inning struck. The Indians did not lack for baserunners, earning 11 walks and 2 HBP on the evening to go along with their hits, but couldn’t find the clutch hit to put up a crooked inning. The Indians fall to 0-1 on the season, and will host a doubleheader with Des Moines East tonight.
