Welcome to Keota, Iowa, where the Keota Eagles hosted the Belle Plaine Plainsmen on a scorching hot day. Despite the oppressive heat, the Eagles delivered a stellar performance, especially on Senior Night, showcasing their talents and determination.
The game kicked off with Wade Sancott leading off for the Plainsmen, but it was the Eagles' lineup, featuring standout players like Tanner Waterhouse, Cole Kindred, and Blake Baker, that stole the show. Waterhouse set the tone with a triple in his first at-bat, while Kindred delivered a pitching performance to remember, retiring batters with precision and relying on his solid defense.
Senior players Tanner Waterhouse, Cole Kindred, Evan Vitito, Aiden McGuire, and Chase Searon all contributed significantly, making their last regular-season home game a memorable one.
