The Pleasantville baseball team is traveling to West Central Valley for a doubleheader against the Wildcats, a series that was originally slated for Thursday but has been pushed back after inclement weather hit the region.
New start time and venue
The games will now begin at 5:00 p.m. in Stuart, Iowa, giving the Trojans a chance to showcase their dominant form on a rain‑softened diamond.
Pleasantville arrives with a 13‑1 record and the No. 1 ranking in the state, fresh off an 18‑1 victory over Interstate 35 that highlighted both their hitting prowess and a stingy pitching staff.
The Trojans boast a team batting average of .338 and an on‑base percentage of .484, while their pitchers maintain a collective earned‑run average of 1.24 and limit opponents to a .139 batting average.
Seven of the regular offensive starters are already batting above .330, underscoring the depth of the lineup that will look to extend its winning streak against a Wildcats team sitting at 4‑8.
Coaches from both programs say the delay could add an extra layer of intensity, as the Wildcats will be eager to prove they can compete with the state’s top squad, while the Trojans aim to keep their flawless season alive.
