Valley Falls sweeps Hiawatha in Double-Header
It was all Valley Falls in both games of the double-header against Hiawatha last night, as they won 16-0 and 18-6. Game one was over quickly due to a big second inning from Valley Falls that saw them plate 11 of their 16 runs, as the matchup was run-ruled in three innings. Valley Falls plated one in the first and four in the third to go along with the 11 runs in the second. All the damage from Valley Falls was aided by 6 Hiawatha errors and seven walks issued, to go along with Valley Falls 11 hits. For Hiawatha they only had one hit in the three inning game, as Quentin Overdick tallied the hit.
Game two, Hiawatha again found themselves in a hole quickly, as Valley Falls scored five runs before Hiawatha had an opportunity to bat. Valley Falls added one more in the top of the second, before Hiawatha would answer with two runs of their own in the bottom of the second. Hiawatha would go on to score two runs in the fourth and sixth innings, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the offense of Valley Falls, who scored three in the fourth, four in the sixth and five in the seventh, to win the game 18-6. Valley Falls pounded the ball once more with 16 total hits, while Hiawatha notched seven hits. Josh Hinkle for Hiawatha finished 1-2 with two RBI and a run scored; Dakota Bayles went 1-3 with an RBI and three runs scored.
Hiawatha is now 1-16 on the season and will next play host to Sabetha this Wednesday in a double-header at 6:00 and 8:00pm.
Seneca Notches Non-League Road Win Over Falls City
After taking their second regular season tournament championship by winning the Tritsch tournament in Hiawatha over the weekend, Seneca went up to Falls City for a non-league matchup.
Falls City took an early lead in plating one in the first without registering a hit, but Seneca would answer with an outburst of eight runs in the third inning to take control of the game. Falls City would try a late rally but come up short only getting three runs in the seventh, to fall 9-5, giving Seneca the win. Cody Heiman went six complete innings to earn the pitching victory for Seneca.
Seneca improved to 11-3 on the season with the win and will meet up with Falls City again later this week in the Doniphan County Tournament in Wathena.
