The Pella Christian softball team endured many challenges this season. A top-25 schedule in the state, and injuries tested the Eagles this season but provided valuable experience for the many of the returning members of the team. Pella Christian will bring back five regular starters from this season’s squad, in addition to three players who made starts throughout the year. Eagles Head Coach Karen Harrill said while dealing with injuries was difficult, it will be beneficial in the coming years.

“We had so many injuries at the beginning of the year that there were a lot of girls that had to play. I mean, one game I think I had three or four catchers. So, with all the injuries that we had at the beginning and then just trying to figure out everything through the end, you know, there’s a lot of people who had to play and that experience is going to be golden for them in the next couple of years.”

The Pella Christian softball team finished the season last Friday with a 10-22 overall record and 4-17 record in the Little Hawkeye Conference.
