Marion High School senior Tyler Hedtke will continue his baseball career at Clarke University in Dubuque next season.

Hedtke, a left-handed pitcher, compiled an 11-3 record last season for the Indians with a 2.69 earned run average. He struck out 81 batters in 86 innings and made third team all-state.

Hedtke helped Marion (27-17) reach the semifinals of the Class 3A state tournament, the best finish in school history.

Clarke is an NAIA college that competes in the Midwest Collegiate Conference.

There will be a signing ceremony for Hedtke on Friday at 3 p.m. in the Board Room at Marion High School.
