Glenwood drops two in ‘Battle of Council Bluffs’

Glenwood dropped a pair of games Saturday in the Battle of Council Bluffs Baseball Classic.

The Rams (7-8 overall, 6-5 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference), playing at home, dropped a 14-12 decision to Adel-DeSoto-Minburn and 10-0 to North Polk.

A-D-M jumped out to an early lead, plating 9 runs in the top of the first inning. The Rams would bounce back for three runs in the bottom of the frame and eventually take a 12-10 lead to close the sixth. But the Tigers scored four run to open the seventh and Glenwood could not rally in its half of the inning.

Glenwood got 4-for-4 plate performance from Kayden Anderson among its 15 hits against A-D-M. Risto Lappala added three hits and Caleb Dressel had two hits and drove in four runs.

Against North Polk, the Rams could muster just three hits – all singles – in the shutout loss. Jayme Fritts, Dressel and Anderson each had a hit.
    
Glenwood 7,
Creston 2

Glenwood ended five innings of scoreless baseball by scoring seven runs in the sixth and seventh innings in a 7-2 victory over Creston in Hawkeye 10 Conference baseball last Tuesday.

The Rams put three runs on the board in the sixth when Jayme Fritts led off the inning with a double. Fritts then stole second and Kayden Anderson induced a walk. Both came around to score on a single by Trent Patton and a double by Grant Von Essen.

Avery Fuller allowed three hits and three earned runs to take the loss on the hill.

Rams sweep Cyclones
in H-10 double-header

Kayden Anderson’s walk-off single in the bottom of the seventh lifted Glenwood to a 7-6 win in game two and capped a Hawkeye 10 Conference double-header sweep of Harlan last Monday.

The Rams trailed 6-5 heading into their final at-bats when Anderson singled to drive in two. The freshman went 3-for-4 at the plate, drove in three total runs and also pitched 4 and a third innings, allowing six hits and striking out six. Trent Patton came on in relief of Anderson to allow two hits and one earned run to pick up the victory on the mound in the game one win.

The Rams picked up the 3-1 game one win behind a gem of pitching performance by Jayme Fritts. The junior struck out 12, scattered six hits and a single earned run in the complete-game win.

Fritts and Austin Patton recorded two hits each combined in the wins and each drove in a run.

Alex Monson took the loss in game one for the Cyclones. The junior struckout six and allowed six hits and all three earned runs.
