KILJ — The baseball circuit was raucous last night with several Super Conference teams on the slate.
Here’s a look at the finals in the area:
Wapello 13, Winfield-Mount Union 8
Cooper Garrison had three hits, including a triple, as Wapello rolled by Winfield-Mount Union 13-8 last night in a Super Conference tilt.
Owen Housman was the winning pitcher for the Indians throwing four innings allowing just two hits and one run while fanning six.
Chase Witte also had a two-hit evening, while driving in four.
Winfield-Mount Union rallied for five in the 6th inning, but saw Wapello strike for five of their own in the top of the 7th to put the game on ice.
The Wolves fell to 0-5. Wapello earned their first win to improve to 1-2.
