PELLA — Finishing off a perfect 6-0 week while improving their seven in a row, the red-hot Indians of Oskaloosa traveled to Pella on Friday and came away with an 8-3 win.

Both teams were looking to wrap up their conference slate on a high note on Friday but it was the Indians starting things off with a bang as Trey Parks led off the game with a solo home run off Pella pitcher Colt Koeppen, who bounced back to close the inning with a fly out and a pair of strikeouts.
