The tough summer sports season continued for Pella Christian on Monday as both the baseball and softball squads were swept in Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheaders at Grinnell.

Facing Class 3A’s #2 ranked Tigers, the Eagles baseball team quickly found themselves trailing 4-0 after the first inning of the doubleheader opener. P.C. cut into the deficit with three runs in top of the third inning, but Grinnell quickly responded to score the final nine runs of the game in the bottom of the frame, winning game one 13-3 in five innings. The nightcap of the doubleheader was all Tigers, as they scored early and often to down the Eagles 17-1 in four innings. The losses dropped Pella Christian’s record to 5-14 overall and 1-12 in Little Hawkeye Conference play.

The Eagles softball team continued to struggle getting on the scoreboard as Grinnell took the first game of the doubleheader 8-1 and game two 10-1. P.C. softball’s record fell to 6-17 overall and 1-13 in the conference.

The Pella Christian summer sports teams will hope to turn things around on Wednesday, but face yet another difficult test at Dallas Center-Grimes. The Eagles softball game at DC-G Wednesday can be heard live on 92.1 KRLS beginning with pregame coverage at 7 p.m.
