Two Marion County softball teams are each two wins away from a trip to the State Tournament in Fort Dodge, and both square off in the Class 2A regional semifinals round tonight.
Pella Christian travels to Pleasantville for a rematch from the first game of the 2018 summer sports season, when the Trojans flipped the script on an Eagles 6-1 lead, scoring the final nine runs to defeat the girls from Eagle Lane.
Both teams not only upset favored teams on the road, but did so in blowout fashion Tuesday, with Pella Christian cruising by Van Meter 13-2 and Pleasantville bats exploding in the middle innings to defeat Pekin 13-4.
