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.

 

A run-scoring error and Dylan Wright's RBI single gave the J-Hawks a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the second inning of the nightcap.

 

Baker belted a two-run home run in the top of the fourth that gave West a 3-2 lead. The Trojans tacked on three runs in the fifth.

West outhit the J-Hawks 15-3 in the five-inning opener. Bonner, Ezra Reiners and Devin Raffensperger had three hits apiece for the Trojans.
