Hiawatha Falls in Double-Header to Falls City

Falls City took a double-header over Hiawatha with a 8-0 five inning game one win. Falls City came back in game two from an 8-1 deficit to win 10-8 in which the game was called early due to lightning. Though Dakota Bayles pitched well in his three innings of work, Hiawatha's pitching staff wildness overall did them in, as Falls City plated nine runs on only four hits in the fourth inning. In game two Hiawatha's offense was lead by Jeff Costa who tallied a 2-3 game with two RBI's, Dakota Bayles finished 1-1 with a run scored, RBI and two walk's. Kyle White also had a multi-hit game with two runs scored, as Hiawatha actually out hit Falls City eight to seven in the lighting shorten game two.

Game one wasn't so kind to the Hiawatha offense has they only tallied three total hits in the game (Bayles, Parker Hasenkamp and White each tallied a hit). On top of Hiawatha's bat's being quieted in the game Falls City struck early with seven runs in the first two innings, scoring the ultimate dagger in the fifth to run-rule the match.

Hiawatha falls to 0-13 (0-8 league) and are still in search of their season first win as they play host to three teams starting today in the Hiawatha Tritsch Champions Tourney. Hiawatha will play Marysville tonight at 8:00pm, while the other matchup in the tournament is Atchison vs. Seneca at 6:00pm.
