While the Pella Christian baseball team will have more success against 2A bats than the Little Hawkeye Conference sluggers, the Eagles may be able to help their hurlers with their own big bats.
The Eagles lead Class 2A with 16 home runs, and are 17th in slugging percentage. Most of that power has been concentrated on two key players: Will Dembski, with 7–which is tied for 2nd most in 2A, and Kade Vander Molen, with 6, good for a tie for fourth best.
Pella Christian, at 8-18, wraps up the regular season in Moravia tonight, and start the playoffs in Mount Ayr on Saturday at 5 p.m. against Clarke.
