HI EVERYBODY. JEFF DUBROF WITH YOU LIVE FROM FORT DODGE. THE MECCA OF STATE SOFTBALL AND HOW DID WE GET SO LUCKY? DIDN’T EVEN BREAK 78 DEGREES. A PERFECT DAY FOR ACTION. AND IT ALL STARTED THIS MORNING WITH CLASS FIVE A. LET’S BEGIN WITH A CENTRAL IOWA BATTLE. SOUTHEAST POLK AND VALLEY TIGERS DOWN ONE. NOTHING EARLY BUT TIE THIS GAME UP THANKS TO ELLA MELKA, A SHOT JUST PAST THE SHORTSTOP SCORING A RUN. WE ARE TIED LITTLE LATER ON IT’S 2 TO 2 AND JADA LONG UNTIES IT FOR THE RAMS UP THE MIDDLE SOUTHEAST POLK TAKES A32 LEAD. THEY WIND UP WINNING IT. FIVE TWO IS YOUR FINAL. WE FEEL AMAZING THING. I THINK THE KEY WAS JUST TO STAY RELAXED AND BELIEVE IN OURSELVES. AND THAT’S WHAT WE DID. THE NUMBER ONE TEAM IN FIVE, A CENTENNIAL JAGUARS LOOKING EVERY BIT THE PART AGAINST BETTENDORF MADDIE OTT CRUSHING ONE DRIVING IN PEYTON DRAVECKY HOW ABOUT MORE RUNS? MACKENZIE JAMES GETS IN ON THE FUN WITH A HIT TO LEFT. IT SCORES ADDIE STARR AND THE JAGS. DOMINATE 7 TO 1 IS THE FINAL. WE’RE JUST UP HERE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY GIVEN TO US AND TAKING NOTHING FOR GRANTED. AND EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE MAKE A GREAT PLAY. AND THAT’S WHAT THIS TEAM’S KIND OF DONE ALL SEASON. WE HAVEN’T REALLY MENTIONED WHERE WE’RE AT. WE HAD TWO MAJOR UPSETS IN FIVE A MUSCATINE AND ANKENY WAS SCORELESS UP UNTIL THE SEVENTH. THAT SCORELESS TIE. NO MORE ON A BRUTAL THROWING ERROR BY THE HAWKETTES THAT SCORES ONE RUN MUSKIES END UP SCORING THREE IN THE FRAME. HAWKEYES NEEDING TO RALLY IN THE BOTTOM HALF AND AREN’T ABLE TO DO SO. RILEY REESE BURT STRIKING OUT THE TWO SEED ANKENY FALLS THREE TO NOTHING. THE FINAL WAUKEE NORTHWEST WAS TAKING ON PLEASANT VALLEY, DOWN 4 TO 3. RUNNER ON THIRD IN THE FIFTH INNING. AVA SMITH A GROUND OUT BUT IT GETS THE JOB DONE TYING THE GAME AT FOUR PLEASANT VALLEY GETS THE RUN RIGHT BACK THOUGH IN THE SIXTH SARAH RIGDON A LINE DRIVE TO CENTER THEY TAKE THE LEAD AND HOLD ON TO IT.
