Wyant, Stroschein toss Lions by J-Hawks

Justin Wyant and Austin Stroschein will be leaving for college later this summer and the next step in their baseball careers, but they'd like to help the Linn-Mar Lions make a return trip to the Class 4A state tournament before they leave.

Wyant and Stroschein took steps in that direction with good pitching performances Wednesday night as Linn-Mar swept a Mississippi Valley Conference doubleheader from Jefferson, 13-7 and 6-3, at the Linn-Mar complex.

Wyant allowed only one run in five innings in the opener in sweltering conditions, then Stroschein went the distance and threw 100 pitches in the nightcap.

No.2 Trojans trip J-Hawks twice

IOWA CITY - Reid Bonner's grand slam capped a seven-run fifth inning in the opener and Colin Baker's two-run homer put Iowa City West ahead to stay in the nightcap and the Trojans swept a Mississippi Valley Conference baseball doubleheader from Jefferson, 11-0 and 6-3, Friday at West.

The games were scheduled to be played at Jefferson, but were switched to West because Friday morning's downpour in Cedar Rapids made the J-Hawk diamond unplayable. Jefferson was the home team in both games.

West (19-3, 13-2 MVC) is ranked second in Class 4A. The twin wins ran the Trojans' winning streak to nine games. They have won 14 of their last 15 games.

Jefferson (6-17, 4-12) outhit West in the nightcap, 7-6. Spencer VanScoyoc had two hits in the nightcap and three in the twinbill. He had two doubles.
