North Polk edged Western Dubuque 7‑6 in the Class 3A quarterfinal, ending the Wolves' season at 24‑15 after a dramatic walk‑off three‑run double in the tenth inning.
The game was originally scheduled for Monday but was postponed to Tuesday morning after severe storms moved through the area, forcing a delay.
Western Dubuque jumped out to a 2‑0 lead in the first inning, yet North Polk answered with a 3‑2 edge by the morning session, setting the stage for a back‑and‑forth battle.
The contest featured several swing moments, including a sacrifice fly from Brady Rissman that tied the score at 3‑3 in the sixth inning and a run each in the bottom of the ninth that kept the game deadlocked.
