Indians score run in fifth inning to edge Warriors
NORWALK — Oskaloosa had lost its last three games to Grinnell and Knoxville by a combined total of 31-10.
The Indians snapped that three-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over Norwalk on Friday night in Little Hawkeye Conference action.
Oskaloosa (5-13 overall, 3-9 LHC) got up on the Warriors with three runs in the third inning. Colton Hansen began the inning with a double and Jake McCrea had a single. A pair of stolen bases and an error by the Norwalk pitcher gave the Indians a 2-0 lead. Jakob McDowell then singled in Austin Westercamp, who earlier received one of those walks, for the 3-0 advantage.
They got their final and what proved to be the winning run of the game in the fifth when McCrea doubled and scored on Garrett Luckett’s double.
Luckett improved to 3-4 on the year as he allowed just one earned run on five hits while walking one and striking out 10.
“Garrett was cruising through the game until the seventh where Garrett had some troubles but fought through it and left the game tying run at third and the game winning run at second,” Oskaloosa coach Brandon Schmidt said.
The Indians travel to Pella tonight. The last time the teams met in Oskaloosa, the Little Dutch scored 14 runs in the fourth inning and held off an Indian rally for the wild 15-13 win on June 8.
