Indianola bulldozed their way through Eagle Lane, combining for 58 runs in four games at Pella Christian, with the baseball team winning 16-4 and 18-2 and the No. 4 in 5A Indians girls sweeping their series 12-2, 12-0, with game two heard live on 92.1 KRLS.
Home runs were the name of the game for Indianola’s high-octane offense, as it was close in game one through four innings, before a pair of three-run home runs busted that contest open.
The Indians picked up where they left off to start game two, hitting three more home runs in the first two innings, including Macie Mays and a game-changing grand slam in the 2nd inning.
Both the Pella and Pella Christian softball teams went on wild seven-inning rides against Christian school opponents on a chilly Friday in the Tulip City.

For the Lady Dutch, they managed a 5th inning rally after trailing the entire contest, tying the game 6-6 heading into the 6th. Each team made it 7-7 after that frame. However, a few passed balls and a key error allowed the Thunder to score six runs in the final inning. Kylie Tauke finished 3-for-3 from the plate, with Kiki Riggen and Bailey Brown each finishing 2-for-2, and two hits each for Thea Wisse and Tori Van Vark. Pella falls to 1-1 and hosts a home invitational today.
