Adam Bradley and Taylor Yoke each drove home a pair of runs as Linn-Mar closed its baseball regular season with a pair of wins over Waterloo West on Wednesday night at Linn-Mar.
In the opener, Bradley had an RBI single and a sacrifice fly to back a strong pitching effort from Brandon Homewood in a 3-0 victory. Homewood went six innings, allowing six hits, striking out two. Brandt Ollinger pitched a perfect seventh to get the save.
Yoke had a double in the nightcap as Andrew Kraus pitched a complete game in a 7-1 Linn-Mar victory.
Kraus struck out eight and walked one for the Lions (23-11 overall, 17-9 MVC).
West closes regular-season play at 3-31, 3-23.
The teams play again Friday at Linn-Mar in a first-round Class 4A substate game. First pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m.
