Rain Interrupts Softball Match
A doubleheader on Tuesday ended in mixed results for Pella Christian. The baseball squad fell 7‑3 to Indianola, while the softball team had built a 7‑3 advantage before a sudden lightning strike forced officials to call the game.
Offensively, Ben Van Wyngarden paced the baseball side, finishing 3‑for‑4 with a run scored. Garrett Wielard and Logan Gallaher combined for three hits and two runs, and Toby Belzer added two RBIs, driving in the other run for his team.
The postponed baseball game has been rescheduled for Monday, June 29, with a 5 p.m. start time, giving the team a chance to rebound in the coming week.
The softball team’s rally was anchored by Brynn Roozeboom, who launched two home runs during the abbreviated contest. Despite the early lead, the game could not be completed, and the schedule for the next softball matchup remains undetermined.
Both events underscore the impact of weather on local high school sports, prompting rescheduling and a keen focus on upcoming fixtures as the season progresses.
