The Pella Chrisitan baseball and softball teams return to action tomorrow with a Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader at Grinnell. 

The Eagles summer sports squads enter the doubleheader Monday looking to remove the bitter taste of disappointing losses against Indianola on Friday night. The P.C. baseball team battled to score nine unanswered runs against the Indians, but the comeback fell short in a 10-9 extra inning loss. While losing is never fun, Eagles Head Coach Braden Shull believes the effort could lead to a change in the team’s fortunes.

“I don’t care about the scoreboard. I care that we’re getting better baseball. I care that were playing at the right way, and I care that we’re taking care of every pitch. And those kinds of things, taking care of every pitch and executing when we need to, that can spark things. I mean, it really can spark things and then hopefully we take some sparks from this and start a fire.”

Following a run-rule shortened 18-0 five inning loss Friday night, the Pella Christian softball team is hoping to duplicate the success they had against Grinnell earlier this month. Back on June 3rd, the Eagles outlasted the Tigers in a hard-fought 5-3 win.

Both doubleheaders for the Pella Christian baseball and softball teams at Grinnell begin at 5:30 p.m.
