Tonight the Pella Christian baseball squad steps onto the road for a single, non‑conference showdown at Grand View Christian, kicking off the final week of regular‑season competition.
The Eagles still have two games remaining before Class 2A Substate Five action begins, including a home contest against West Marshall on Wednesday and a road trip to Davis County on Friday that will serve as their postseason opener.
Beyond the schedule, the team is using this stretch to generate momentum heading into the playoffs, a goal that also includes avenging a season‑ending defeat to Grand View Christian from a year ago.
The two clubs met twice last summer, with Pella Christian edging a 10‑9 victory in the regular‑season meeting before Grand View Christian turned the tables in the postseason rematch, winning 7‑3.
First Pitch at Hoover High School
First pitch for tonight’s contest is slated for 7:30 p.m. at Hoover High School in Des Moines, Iowa, providing a familiar venue for the Eagles to showcase their preparation and resolve.
Coach Garrett Wieland has emphasized the importance of executing fundamentals and maintaining focus, noting that the experience gained from last year’s narrow loss can fuel a stronger performance.
As the regular season winds down, the Eagles are poised to carry the energy from these final games into a promising playoff run, hoping to translate early‑season progress into postseason success.
