The bats were working for the Central baseball team, but they could not put across enough runs against Buena Vista, falling 7 – 2 and 16 – 9. The Dutch had the lead after the third with a two-run single from Garrett Saunders. However, the Beavers scored seven runs total in the fourth-through-sixth, and held Central at bay. Game two didn’t go any better for the Dutch; after scoring three in their half of the opening inning, Buena Vista responded by scoring in all eight innings on 15 hits and three Central errors. Mike Reuter and Kyle Crampton both homered in the second game for Central, who falls to 7 – 17 on the season and 5 – 9 in Iowa Conference play. Central will conclude their four-game series with Simpson next on Tuesday at home against Simpson.
