July 17th, 2019 by admin

The Audubon Wheelers and Southeast Warren Warhawks came out on top of their contests in a Class 1A District Semifinal doubleheader in Milo on Tuesday night. The Wheelers and Warhawks will meet back again on the same field in the District Final on Saturday night.

The Wheelers pulled off a bit of a surprise with an 11-1 victory over the CAM Cougars in the first game of the night. The Wheelers jumped out early to take a 1-0 lead in the first. They would then pile on 4 more runs in a breakout 5th inning before piling on 6 more in the top of the 7th to assure the win. Jackson Jensen and Skyler Schultes combined for a stellar night on the mound for the Wheelers. They gave up only 6 hits to the Cougars with 8 strikeouts (all from Jensen) and 4 walks and 1 hit batter. Gavin Smith and Aiden Alt both had 2 RBI doubles in the contest. The Wheelers improved to 13-13 and CAM ends their season at 24-6.

Southeast Warren woke up the cornfield beyond the left field fence with three homeruns in their 15-0 win over the Nodaway Valley Wolverines in the nightcap. The Warhawks got a 3-run shot from Brock Kyner to start the scoring in the 2nd. Bryce Hall hit a 2-run blast in the 3rd. Colby Page ended the game with a grand slam in the 4th. The Warhawks went around the order in the 4th and piled up 10 runs in the frame to prompt the mercy rule win. The Wolverines struggled on the mound by giving up 8 walks and hit 3 batters on the short night. Southeast Warren improved to 27-5 and Nodaway Valley ends the season at 15-11.
