INDIANS RALLY TO BEAT KNOXVILLE

Indians rally to beat Knoxville

There was a baseball game and a roller coaster ride Tuesday (6/18) night at Oskaloosa High School.  Knoxville jumped out to a 6-0 lead after an inning and a half.  Then the Indians got a run back in their half of the second, then five more in the third inning to tie the game, then three more in the fourth to take a 9-6 lead.  Noah Van Veldhuizen’s two run single broke the deadlock.  Knoxville’s Carter Bailey hit a two run homer in the fifth to make it a 9-8 game.  Knoxville got a pair of two out walks in the top of the seventh, but could not score and the game ended in Oskaloosa’s favor 9-8.  Kale Bollinger, pitching for the first time for the varsity, got the win for the Indians, who have won six in a row and are now 11-4 overall.  Kobie Marshall took the loss for the Knoxville Panthers, who have lost six in a row.  Wednesday night (6/19), Oskaloosa plays a doubleheader at Grinnell  starting at 5:30.
