The Pella Christian baseball and softball teams begin a busy week tonight by heading south to face Albia in non-conference action.

The Eagles summer sports teams will each play single games today, Thursday, and Friday while playing in a doubleheader Wednesday and competing in a tournament Saturday. Following a 3-1 effort last week, the Pella Christian baseball squad squares off with a Blue Demons team that has struggled to a 1-6 start to the season. The Eagles fell to Grinnell to start last week, but grabbed wins over Moravia, Pleasantville and Des Moines Christian, while Albia lost all four of their games to Centerville, Clarke, and Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont. 

On the softball diamond, Pella Christian went 4-1 last week to open their 2023 campaign, while Albia began the season 3-0. The Eagles softball squad lost their season opener to Grinnell but bounced back to earn their four wins against Pleasantville, Des Moines Christian, English Valleys, and Wapello. The Blue Demons three wins to open the season came against Centerville, Clarke, and Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont.

The softball game between Pella Christian and Albia kicks off tonight’s action, with first pitch set for 7:15 p.m. The Eagles and Blue Demons baseball contest is scheduled to start shortly thereafter at 7:30 p.m.
