Perry baseball hits the road today as they face off with Ballard in Slater.  This opening round playoff game was originally scheduled for Friday at 7P.  The matchup was pushed up hoping to beat the rain on Friday.  Just before first pitch a downpour started and deemed the field unplayable.  The contest was rescheduled for today and KDLS will have the coverage at 6:50P.

The Bluejays, who are 3-23, travel to take on the top seeded Bombers that are 25-8. Ballard claimed second in the Raccoon River Conference while Perry finished ninth in the Heart of Iowa. A loss now for either side ends their season and the winner advances to face off with North Polk.

This match up had been a common one when these two shared the Raccoon River Conference, but this will be their first meeting since Perry left following the 2021 season. The Bombers have been victorious in the last eight meetings.

Owen Myers and Geren Kenney will try to extend their final seasons tonight. Both guys are hitting well over .400… .451 and .449 respectively. Gabriel Beato has driven in a team high 19 runs while Mason Hays has brought in 17. The Bluejays’ bats will be tested as Ballard has been dominate on the mound.

First pitch scheduled for 7P at Nite Hawk Baseball Field in Slater. KDLS will have the broadcast at 6:50P.
