College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Dean Beate Schmittmann was also inducted as an honorary member. Founded in 1776 at the College of William and Mary in Virginia, Phi Beta Kappa is the nation’s oldest and most prestigious honorary society. It recognizes students for outstanding academic achievement in a broad curriculum in the liberal arts and sciences. Phi Beta Kappa has more than 240 chapters in institutions of higher learning. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Iowa State University was granted its chapter charter in 1973. The ISU Charter, complete with the names of our founding faculty members, can be found in the third floor conference room in Catt Hall. Election to Phi Beta Kappa is by invitation. The United Chapters recognizes three classes of members: members in course, alumni, and honorary members. However, Zeta Chapter of Iowa (ISU) elects members in course (undergraduates) and honorary members only. In February each year, eligible students are invited to membership, based on their records at the end of the fall semester. The number who may be invited is limited by national bylaws, so not all students who meet the minimum requirements can be invited. Students who meet the criteria for membership by graduation, but not earlier, are included in the following year’s invitation. Joanna Hodder, English, a 2010 graduate from Keota High School was initiated during the ceremony.

The Savages scored at will in their two conference matchups last week, combining for a total of 26 runs in those two games. 17 of those runs came last Monday against HLV. Sigourney’s bats were loud early and often, and it all got going when Peyton Crawford drove in Shane Swearingen in the first inning, putting the Savages ahead 1-0. One batter later junior Colby Kerkove went deep to centerfield for a two-run home run, putting Sigourney up 3-0. The Savages added another run in the first to make it 4-0, before exploding for four more runs in the second; two of which came on a two-run double by Bryce Brown. An RBI double by Swearingen and an RBI single by Crawford increased the Savages’ lead to 10-1 in the third and the Savages weren’t done there. Sigourney scored four more times in the third, including one on an RBI single by J.C. Dumont, and went into the fourth leading 14-1. The Savages tacked on three more insurance runs in the sixth and clinched the win, 17-10. Sigourney had 14 hits as a team, including three each from Kerkove and Crawford. Cole Streigle added a two-for-four performance with a double. On the hill, Crawford went five innings and gave up four hits while striking out eight. Jake VanEe tossed the final two innings and allowed one hit and walked two. The days later the Savages got the special opportunity to take the field in Des Moines at the Iowa Cubs’ Principal Park. Sigourney was overpowered by an excellent Pleasantville squad, 16-1, but the Savages still took in the whole experience. Colby Kerkove had the best day of any Savages, going a perfect two-fortwo at the plate with a double. Kerkove scored Sigourney’s lone run when Adam Gragg drove him in on a sacrifice. Bryce Brown had the only other hit for Sigourney on the day. The Savages immediately put the Pleasantville loss behind them and got right back up on the horse Thursday against a good Lynnville-Sully club. After quickly falling behind 1-0, the Savages responded with a vengeance and poured in five runs in the bottom half of the first. Bryce Brown got the ball rolling with a single that scored Streigle, and Adam Gragg drove in Crawford in the next at-bat. A J.C. Dumont single drove in Brown and Avery Moore proceeded to drive in two more to cap Sigourney’s first-inning scoring at five. L-S cut its deficit to 5-4 by scoring three runs in the top of the second and neither team scored until Crawford knocked in a run with a single in the third, increasing Sigourney’s lead to 6-4. Crawford then drove in two more in the bottom of the fifth when he doubled in Moore and Streigle. Crawford then proceeded to score on an error to make Sigourney’s lead 9-4. The Hawks fought back once again in the top of the seventh, scoring four runs off starter VanEe and the Sigourney defense. With VanEe tired, Sigourney manager Lee Crawford elected to bring in Peyton Crawford to seal the deal. Crawford did just that, striking out the final batter to give the Savages the 9-8 win. Sigourney finished the game with 12 hits, including three from Streigle and two each from Gragg, Crawford and Moore. On the mound VanEe struck out five, walked two and gave up seven hits in six and two-thirds innings. The Savages, who now sit at 3-13 overall, hosted Keota on Tuesday, July 1, and then host Tri-County the following night. The team ends its week at Montezuma on Thursday, July 3. Bears Win Two of Three in SICL 6-21 EV 3, Mid-Prairie 13 • 6-24 EV 4, North Mahaska 1 6-25 EV 11, Montezuma 1 • 6-27 EV 6, Belle Plaine 12 By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor Following two wins and one loss in conference play last week EV’s baseball team sat in a twoway tie for fourth place in the SICL with Tri-County at 9-8. The Bears started their week in a matchup with second-place North Mahaska. Despite only getting four hits and drawing two walks, the Bears were able to manufacture four runs off North Mahaska’s A.J. Hibler, which proved to be more than enough for EV pitcher Brennen Grimm. Grimm threw a complete game three-hitter, struck out nine and walked two; his only run allowed came on a solo homerun by Taylor Legvold in the third that put NM ahead 1-0. EV responded after Legvold’s homer by plating three runs in the bottom of the fourth to gain a 3-1 lead. Two of EV’s three runs in the fourth were driven in on a double by Cody Seaton, before Casey Blaylock drove in another on a fielder’s choice. Blaylock later drove in another run in the sixth inning to bump the Bears’ lead up to 4-1, which ended up being the final score. Seaton accounted for two of EV’s four hits, while Tanner Icenbice and Grimm had the other two. EV’s bats came out on fire the following night at Montezuma. The Bears plated five runs in the first, four more in the second, and took care of business in five innings with an 11-1 win. The Bears pounded out 13 hits on the night, including three each from Andrew Kerkove and Seaton, who also combined to score five times. Pitcher Adam Kerkove added two hits, two RBIs and a walk to his five innings of work on the mound, in which he gave up just two hits and struck out five. Blaylock also added two hits and two runs to EV’s effort, while Grimm, Icenbice and Jack Lawrence each had one hit. After starting the week in fantastic fashion with two wins in two nights, English Valleys hosted Belle Plaine on Friday and fell by a count of 12-6. The Plainesmen scored three runs in each of the first two innings and proceeded to push across five more in the fourth. Junior Trey Squires finished with two homeruns and four runs batted in. Complete statistics for EV were not available at press time. The Bears play at Iowa Valley on Thursday, July 3. Let Us Help With Your Farm’s Growing Potential . . .

Panther Baseball Pushes Streak to Seven 6-23 Pekin 11, Columbus Junction 0 • 6-24 Pekin 11, IMS 2 • 6-26 Pekin 3, Highland 0 6-28 Pekin 14, Moravia 3 • 6-28 Pekin 16, New London 5 By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor The Pekin baseball team has been balling. Five wins in five chances last week ran the Panthers’ winning streak to seven games, and a tworun loss to Lone Tree represents the team’s only blemish in the last 11 contests. Pekin’s perfect week all started at home on Monday against Columbus Junction. The Panthers made quick work of Columbus Junction, wrapping up the 11-0 win in five innings. Senior Cade Millikin got the win on the mound, allowing five hits and one walk in five innings of work, while striking out seven. The first three batters in Pekin’s lineup: Kolby Allsup, Petie Clubb and Keaton Winn, each had two hits on the night, as did Pekin’s eighth batter, Zach Sloan. After gaining a 1-0 lead after one, the Panthers ran away with four runs in the second and three in each of the next two innings to get the 11-0 win. The 11-2 score the following night’s win at IMS wasn’t indicative of the competitiveness of the game. IMS, who defeated Pekin 5-3 in the teams’ first meeting, took a quick 1-0 lead over the Panthers with a run in the first off starter Zach Sloan. That 1-0 score didn’t change for the next two innings until Pekin senior Jaydan Nicholson stepped to the plate in the fourth.

After a scoreless bottom of the fourth followed by a scoreless top of the fifth, IMS managed to push across the tying run in the bottom of the fifth. The game remained tied until the top of the seventh when the Panthers started getting to IMS starter Reggie Hostetler. The Panthers began hitting around Hostetler and eventually drove him out of the game after plating five runs off of him in the seventh. In came reliever Dallas Nye, who struggled throwing strikes and walked in a trio of Panthers. When it was all said and done the Panthers scored nine runs in the seventh a came away with the 11-2 win. Pekin ended the game with ten hits, including two each from Cole Reighard and Nicholson. Millikin and Allsup each had one hit and each scored twice, while Sloan went one-for-three with a double. Sloan’s bigger contribution at IMS came on the hill. Sloan battled through fatigue from the third inning on and fought his way to a complete game, four-hitter. Sloan, a senior, struck out five and walked three, and now holds a 0.88 ERA through 31 and two-thirds innings of work. Two nights later the Panthers hosted a very good Highland team and did all of their work offensively in the first inning. First-inning hits by Petie Clubb and Keaton Winn led two runs, one coming on an RBI-single by Millikin and another coming on a tworun double by Reighard that also scored Millikin. Three run was all starting pitcher Keaton Winn needed. Winn struggled with his command at times, walking six, but his stuff was good enough to throw seven innings of three-hit ball and strike out eight. Winn is now 4-1 with a 0.41 ERA in 34 and one-third innings of work. The Panthers then picked up a pair of wins on Saturday in their own tournament.

TC Baseball Nabs Three More as 14-2 heading into the bottom of the fourth, but they rallied by scoring five in the fourth, two in the fifth, one in the sixth and three in the seventh; only to come up one run short. Scott Edmundson’s squad bounced back with a great win against HLV the following night, 5-1. The Trojans put up two runs in each of the first two innings, giving starting pitcher Jake Brumbaugh more than enough support. Brumbaugh wound up throwing a complete-game fourhitting, striking out six and walking one. TC had just five hits, but three of those were doubles; one each by Blythe, Bombei and Lally. TC’s bats were silenced two nights later against North Mahaska and all-conference pitcher Trent Roose. In fact, Roose held the Trojans without a hit and struck out nine in seven innings of work. On the other side of things, TC’s Lally gave up six hits in six innings of work and struck out three, but without regis- Household & Tool Auction Location: Keoco Auction Company (Sale Barn), 603 S.

The team went to Belle Plaine on Monday and came away with a scrappy 3-0 win over the Plainesmen. TC was fueled by the excellent pitching performance of Katlyn Little. Little tossed all seven innings and allowed six hits and no walks, while striking out six. Tri-County’s offense first struck in the second frame by plating two runs, which proved to be enough for Little and the defense behind her. The Trojans tacked on an insurance run in the seventh to help secure the 3-0 win and their eighth of the year. As a team TC generated a total of nine hits against Belle tering a hit in the game, the Trojans lost the pitchers’ duel, 3-0. Like clockwork Tri-County responded after a loss with a win. The Trojans picked up a 17-0 win on Saturday at Harmony that was highlighted by a four-for-four performance ENSE N F 40 ST 19 YEARS 74–2 014 from Mason Garber and a fourinning, two-hit complete game by pitcher Luke Bombei. The team hosted conference-leading BGM on Tuesday, July 1, before playing at Sigourney on Wednesday. TC is then off until Monday, July 7, when it hosts Montezuma. Explore the Possibilities!

RI By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor Wins over Belle Plaine and HLV last week helped bump the Tri-County baseball team’s conference mark to 8-7, which put them in fifth place. Monday’s ten-inning, 5-2 win at Belle Plaine was highlighted by a nine-inning, 11 strikeout performance by starting pitcher Tyler Lally. Lally was relieved by Brumbaugh after the Trojans pushed across three runs in the top of the tenth to take a 5-2 lead. Brumbaugh allowed one hit but struck out two and got the save. At the plate, Brumbaugh finished two-for-four with a double, a triple and a walk. As a team the Trojans recorded six hits, with Zach Kitzman, Trenton Steinke, Austin Blythe and Jacob Bombei each reaching with singles. Tri-County fell the next night, 14-13 to LynnvilleSully, despite slugging 13 hits, including three from Blythe and two each from Lally and Benjamin Edmundson.

Plaine, including doubles from Megan Garber and Megan Striegel. Garber, along with Ginny Schmidt, each had two-for-four days, while Taylor Markham, Jessika Steen, Jessie Maxwell and Sara Gragg each had singles. The Trojans followed up their win against Belle Plaine with an 8-0 loss to SICL leader Lynnville-Sully, and then suffered two losses to HLV in a double-header, 12-11 and 13-2. Sara Gragg had four of TC’s 14 hits in the 12-11 loss to HLV. On Thursday the Trojans hosted Grinnell and were defeated 8-0 despite a two-for-two day from Maxwell and a complete-game three-hitter from Little. Two of the eight runs relinquished by Little were of the earned variety. After the tough stretch of four losses in the middle of the week, TC bounced back with perhaps its biggest win of the year on the road at North Mahaska. The Trojans struck first by plating two runs in the top of the second. North Mahaska finally answered four innings later in the bottom of the sixth by scoring twice to tie the game at two. Neither team was able to score in the seventh, which meant it would take extras to decide the winner. Tri-County didn’t waste any time and jump all over North Mahaska starter Nicole Brand by scoring four runs in the top of the eighth. The Warhawks answered with one in the bottom half but it wasn’t enough, as Little and the TC’s defense held them off for the 6-3 win. Little was absolutely dominant on Friday, allowing just four hits and striking out 16 in eight innings of work. At the plate Megan Striegel collected three of the team’s eight hits and scored two. Steen added two hits in four tries and Gragg, Schmidt and Markham had one hit apiece. The team hosted BGM on Tuesday, July 1, before ending the regular season at Sigourney on Wednesday. The Trojans then play at Montezuma on Monday, July 7, at 7pm in the first round of Regional play. The winner will play at Twin Cedars on Wednesday, July 9, at 7pm. Tri-County is now in sixth place at 9-9 in SICL play. • Full time position • Excellent benefit package includes: health, dental, 401K, and much more!

The Bears traveled to Montezuma on Wednesday, June, 25, and notched an 8-7 win and they did it in exciting fashion. Both teams pushed across two runs in the first inning before going scoreless in the second. EV then made a statement in the top of the third, plating four runs to take a 6-2 lead. The Bravettes fought back with one run in the bottom half of the third, before both team went scoreless for the next three innings. With EV leading 6-3 in the bottom of the seventh, EV starter Annie Axmear was looking for the complete-game win. However, Axmear and the EV defense couldn’t close the deal, initially, as Montezuma stayed alive by scoring three times in the seven, sending the game to extras. The Bears refused to hang their heads, though, and regained the lead by plating three runs in the top of the eighth. The Bravettes managed to score a run in the bottom half of the eighth to cut their deficit to 8-7, but Axmear and her Bears held on for the one-run win. Axmear allowed nine hits, struck out six and walked none in eight innings of work. EV’s offense had a number of key contributors in the win at Montezuma, including eighthgrader Audrey Grove, who went two-for-four with a homerun. Senior Allison Hewett ended her night with a double, a triple, a walk and two RBIs. Leadoff hitter Taylor Gerard finished three-forfive with three stolen bases and a run. As a team the Bears stole six bases and drew eight walks. EV played at Keota on Above: Jordan Carter smacked a single up the middle. Left: Becca Ohland raced the L-S runner to third.

Sigourney SB Splits a Tough Week 6-23 Sigourney 2, HLV 1 • 6-26 Sigourney 7, Lynnville-Sully 15 By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor Sigourney, the SICL’s second-place softball team, had a chance to make a massive statement last week. The SICL’s number one and number two teams both came into two and the Savages started the week off the way they wanted to. An excellent HLV team led by pitcher Kendra Schafbuch visited Sigourney last Monday with a chance to close the gap in the SICL standings with second-place Sigourney. However, one big blow by the Savages was enough to send the Warriors home with a loss and keep Sigourney comfortably in second. Tuesday, July 1, before playing at Lynnville-Sully on Wednesday and at Iowa Valley on Thursday. EV opens up postseason play in Class 1A Region 5 on Monday, July 7, at Belle Plaine. The winner will play at Sigourney on Wednesday, July 7. Regional games are all slated for 7pm starts. Bears Win Two of Three in SICL 6-21 English Valleys 3, Mid-Prairie 13 6-24 English Valleys 4, North Mahaska 1 6-25 English Valleys 11, Montezuma 1 6-27 English Valleys 6, Belle Plaine 12 By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor Following two wins and one loss in conference play last week the English Valleys baseball team sat in a two-way tie for fourth place in the SICL with Tri-County at 9-8. The Bears started their week in a matchup with second-place North Mahaska. Despite only getting four hits and drawing two walks, the Bears were able to manufacture four runs off North Mahaska’s A.J. Hibler, which proved to be more than enough for EV pitcher Brennen Grimm. Grimm threw a complete game three-hitter, struck out nine and walked two; his only run allowed came on a solo homerun by Taylor Legvold in the third that put NM ahead 1-0. EV responded after Legvold’s homer by plating three runs in the bottom of the fourth to gain a 3-1 lead. Two of EV’s three runs in the fourth were driven in on a double by Cody Seaton, before Casey Blaylock drove in another on a fielder’s choice. Blaylock later drove in another run in the sixth inning to bump the Bears’ lead up to 4-1, which ended up being the final score. Seaton accounted for two of EV’s four hits, while Tanner Icenbice and Grimm had the other two. EV’s bats came out on fire the following night at Montezuma. The Bears plated five runs in the first, four more in the second, and took care of business in five innings with 7 an 11-1 win. The Bears pounded out 13 hits on the night, including three each from Andrew Kerkove and Seaton, who also combined to score five times. Pitcher Adam Kerkove added two hits, two RBIs and a walk to his five innings of work on the mound, in which he gave up just two hits and struck out five. Blaylock also added two hits and two runs to EV’s effort, while Grimm, Icenbice and Jack Lawrence each had one hit. After starting the week in fantastic fashion with two wins in two nights, English Valleys hosted Belle Plaine on Friday and fell by a count of 12-6. The Plainesmen scored three runs in each of the first two innings and proceeded to push across five more in the fourth. Junior Trey Squires finished with two homeruns and four runs batted in. Complete statistics for EV were not available at press time. The Bears play at Iowa Valley on Thursday, July 3, in their only game of the week.

With Sigourney trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the sixth, senior Emily Danowsky stepped to the plate with a runner on. With one swing of the bat Danowsky gave the Savages a 2-1 on a two-run homer that also scored Karah Appleget. Following Danowsky’s bomb, pitcher Jordan Carter and the Sigourney defense got the job done in the seventh and secured the 2-1 win. Danowsky and Appleget each finished with two hits. Becca Ohland and Brooke Waechter also added singles, while Carter doubled and threw seven innings of four-hit ball with six strikeouts. Second-ranked and SICLleading Lynnville-Sully then came to town on Thursday and left with a 15-7 win. Despite the score, the Savages appeared poised to pull off the win early on. After scoring four runs in the bottom of the first, Sigourney added three more in the second on a three-run shot by Appleget. The Savages entered the third inning leading 7-2 but couldn’t maintain defensive composure. The Hawks cut Sigourney’s lead to 7-6 by scoring four times in the third before tying it in the fourth. Things fell apart for the Savages in the seventh inning. A number of defensive blunders game L-S extra chance after extra chance to cash in runs. Already with five runs in the seventh, Lynnville-Sully’s Shelby Davis cranked a two-run homer off Carter to extend the Hawks’ lead to 14-7. The Hawks tacked on another run and came away with the 15-7 win. The Savages tallied eight hits on the night, including two doubles from Madi Denny, a double and a single from Leah Carter and a double from Waechter. Now at 14-2 in SICL play, Sigourney hosted Tri-County on Wednesday, July 2, and then played at Montezuma on Thursday. By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor At 9-5 in the SEISC North, the Pekin Panthers softball team sits alone by itself in third place. Just two weekends ago the Panthers were at 7-4, but two big wins early last week has their record looking pretty a little better. The Panthers started their week off with a 12-5 win against Columbus Junction in which they amassed 13 hits and got a complete game from Ashlyn Zook. Zook gave up seven hits and three earned runs, while striking out eight batters in seven innings. The Pekin offense supported Zook with a run in the first and two more in the second to help the Panthers gain a 3-2 lead. Pekin’s bats really got cooking later on in the game against Columbus Junction. The Panthers plated five runs in the fifth to increase their lead to 8-4, before taking command of the game with four more runs in the sixth. Sloan Reighard and Madelyn Baker each had three hits and combined for five runs in the 12-5 win; Reighard doubled twice and drove in five. Cassidy Tolle and Kaylee Linder each went two-for-three and combined for five RBIs. Emily Bemis, Tiana Slaney and Zook also each added one hit. The Panthers put the game out of reach the next night at IMS with six runs in the first inning and four more in the third en route to an 11-1 win. Pekin clubbed nine hits and drew seven walks in the win and were led by Nikole Arendt’s three-for-three performance. In addition to Arendt’s big game, the Panthers were fueled by another two-double game by Reighard and a solid performance in the circle by Courtney Comstock. Comstock, a sophomore starting for the injured Zook, allowed just three hits and one walk in five innings of work, while striking out four. Pekin followed the win at IMS with a 14-1 loss to topranked Highland on Thursday. The Panthers bounced back after the loss to Highland with a 4-3 win on Saturday in Pekin against Van Buren, but were then defeated by West Branch, 8-2. The team hosted Mediapolis on Tuesday, July 1, before playing at WACO on Thursday, July 3. The Panthers open up Regional play in Class 2A Region 5 against Van Buren (4-15) on Tuesday, July 8, in Packwood. The winner will play at Highland (25-1) on Wednesday, July 9.

Monte 6-23 Keota 4, Montezuma 11 • 6-24 Keota 0, Iowa Valley 10 6-25 Keota 0, North Mahaska 13 By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor A gutsy effort by pitcher Zach Mousel and a four-run first inning made for Keota’s best game of the season last Monday against Montezuma. After giving up three runs in the top of the first inning to the Braves, Keota stormed back with a vengeance and took the lead, temporarily. RBI singles by Nate Sieren, Luke Greiner and Dakota Slaughter plated three runs for the Eagles, and a fielder’s choice by John Mather added another run, giving the Eagles four in the frame. Hunter Wilson and Mousel each scored in the first inning after reaching base with hits. Sieren and Greiner proceeded to score runs in the inning as well. Despite the Braves tying the game at four with a run in the second, Keota’s Mousel get the Montezuma offense at bay for most of the game. With the score tied at four after two innings, Mousel and the Keota defense held Montezuma scoreless in the third, before allowing just one run to the Braves in the fourth. The Braves managed to score twice in the top of the fifth inning to take a 7-4 2014 Savage Volleyball Camp For Girls Entering 3-8th Grade in the fall of 2014 Monday, Aug. 4 - Wednesday, Aug. 6 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 Noon at Sigourney High School $30.00 per camper (if more than 1 per family $25 per camper) To Register Or For Questions Call Coach Chris Carter 641-660-9853 or email [email protected], Registration Forms Also On The School Website: www.sigourneyschools.com RegistRations FoRms Due By July 18 Girl’s Youth Volleyball League For 3rd, 4th grade and 5th and 6th Grade Girls Games Played on Sunday Afternoons at 1 p.m. beginning Sept. 14 Practice Begins During First Couple Weeks of School Registration Fee $25.00 (includes t-shirt) Checks made payable to Sigourney Pride (note Youth Volleyball) Registration forms available on the school website: www.sigourneyschools.com Mail Fee and Form to: Chris Carter, 21597 180th St., Sigourney, Ia 52591 For More Information call Chris at 641-660-9853, or email [email protected] REGISTRATIONS ARE DUE BY JULY 25 lead, but Keota remained in the game. However, four more runs by the Braves in the sixth made an Eagle comeback nearly impossible. Montezuma pitcher Joe Peck settled down substantially after a rough first inning and held the Eagles scoreless for the final six innings, giving the Braves the 11-4 win. For the Eagles, Mousel went all seven innings, allowing 11 hits and six walks, while striking out five. Seven of his 11 runs allowed were earned. At the plate Mousel and Hunter Wilson each finished two-for-three with one run scored. One of Mousel’s two hits was a double, the team’s first of the season. The Eagles fell to Iowa Valley 10-0 the following night and were then held hitless by North Mahaska’s Jacob Sherburne the next night in a 13-0 loss. The Eagles played at Sigourney on Tuesday, July 1, before hosting Belle Plaine on Thursday, July 3. Keota Farmer’s Market By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor The defense and pitching hasn’t been as good for Keota as the team would like to see, but the offense, on the other hand, has been pleasingly improving, especially of late. Last week the Eagles tallied a total of 14 runs in three games, which was a big improvement from the week prior when they mustered five runs in five games. The Eagles began their week at Montezuma on Monday and put together one of their best offensive innings of the season. Keota went off for five runs in the second inning and grabbed and early 5-0 lead against the Bravettes. Unfortunately, those five runs were the only ones of the game for the Eagles and Montezuma wound up running away for the 15-5 win. The Bravettes drew 13 walks and stole nine bases in the game. The Eagles finished with five hits, including two doubles, in the loss at Montezuma. Mariah Lyle led the way with a double, a walk and two RBIs. Maggie Baker accounted for Keota’s other double, while Raigan Sprouse, Mallory Ladehoff and Kelsi Sieren each singled. Montezuma scored seven runs in the third after trailing 5-0 early on and added to its lead with three runs in the fourth, another in the fifth and four more in the sixth inning. Following their game at Montezuma, the Eagles headed to Iowa Valley the following night and compiled another solid offensive showing. Eight hits, including two Sieren, helped the Eagles put up four runs in the 16-4 loss. Iowa Valley jumped out to a 5-1 lead after one, but the Eagles responded two cut their deficit to 5-3 with a pair of runs in the top of the second. The Tigers pounced on the Eagles, however, in the second inning by scoring 11 runs to take control of the game. Keota added a run in the third, but it was enough. Baker, Sprouse, Lyle and Ladehoff each singled against the Tigers, as did Olivia Sieren and Cortney Hyman. The Eagles then played at North Mahaska the following night, giving them three road contests in three days. Sky Hahn’s team started the game in excellent fashion against the Warhawks, pushing across two runs in the first and another in the second to grab an early 3-0 lead. That lead was short lived, though. North Mahaska cut its deficit to 3-2 with a pair of runs in the third and then too a 5-3 lead by scoring three runs in the fourth. Keota stayed after it, though, and tied the game at five by scoring twice in the top of the fourth. However, North Mahaska, who is tied with HLV for third place in the SICL, rattled off six runs in the fifth and five in the sixth to take the win, 15-5. Kaylin Swanson and Abby Schulte each recorded singles, as did Ladehoff, Hyman and Olivia Sieren. The team played at English Valleys on Tuesday, July 1, before playing at Belle Plaine on Thursday, July 3. The Eagles open postseason play in Class 1A, Region 5, against HLV in Victor at 7pm on Monday, July 7. The winner will play North Mahaska in New Sharon on Wednesday, July 9.
