PELLA — It was an exciting start for the Pella Christian Eagles when they hosted the Trojans from Pleasantville Tuesday night. Amaia Agre took the second pitch she saw out of the yard and into the weeds behind the left field fence. Then with one out, Faith Kacmarynski ripped a double to left-center and Chloe Snyder singled. A ground out to the right side by Brynn Roozeboom scored Kacmarynski and a single by Laurel Roozeboom scored Snyder to give the Eagles a 3-0 lead.
But when you clear the first hill of the roller-coaster the way down can get long and it seemed that the downhill mission for the Eagles got a little lengthy. The Trojans came to life in the top of the third with five runs to take a 5-3 lead.
