Pella’s offense erupts early
The Pella baseball team traveled to Washington on Monday and walked away with a 9‑4 victory, a result that underscored the Dutch’s early‑game firepower. From the outset, the Dutch seized control, scoring three runs in the top of the second inning and tacking on another in the third to build a comfortable lead.
The opposition, known as the Demons, fought back in the bottom of the third, plating four runs to narrow the gap, but Pella’s bats only grew hotter. A five‑run explosion in the top of the fifth inning stretched the lead to double digits, effectively sealing the game.
Colt Koeppen’s dual‑threat performance
Colt Koeppen was the centerpiece of the win, going 3‑for‑4 at the plate with a double while also delivering two scoreless innings on the mound, striking out two batters and sealing the win.
Looking ahead to the final stretch
With the regular season winding down, Pella is set to close out the schedule on Wednesday against Bondurant‑Farrar before turning its attention to a postseason showdown with the Bluejays on Friday.
