Some Brock Kjelgaard news. Impressive outing in the Region XI tournament. www.ottumwacourier.com/sp...81023.html Falcons make it to regional finals with big weekend rally By SCOTT JACKSON, Courier sports writer CARROLL ? Indian Hills faced a long road to the regional championship after being upset by Marshalltown Friday. Thus far, the Falcons are breezing down that road with what IHCC does best; dominant starting pitching and powerfully balanced hitting. Sean Smith busted out of an 0-5 start at the plate to his postseason. The former state champion at Martensdale-St. Mary?s blasted more big hits at Carroll Stadium, nailing a double, a triple and pair of home runs in two Sunday elimination games. The five-hit, five-RBI, five-run onslaught led IHCC to a 10-0, eight-inning revenge win over Marshalltown Sunday afternoon and an 8-0 win over Muscatine in the day?s final elimination game. A powerful three-game run, that began Saturday with a 9-0, seven-inning win over Southwestern, has taken the Falcons from near elimination to the final day of the Region XI Baseball Tournament. ?Everyone?s really kind of come together at the right time,? Indian Hills head coach Cam Walker said. ?We told these guys we were coaching to win the whole tournament. We talked about how we started out the season hot. We know we?re capable of winning 12 in row like we did in Arizona.? While the Falcon hitters are continuing to put plenty of runs on the scoreboard, the biggest difference this weekend proved to be dominant starting pitching. Matthew Davitt, Nathan Harbarts and Brock Kjeldgaard pitched all by a third of an inning over the past three games, each twirling shutouts while scattering just 13 hits over 24 innings. Kjeldgaard the Falcons? run to the regional finals with the most impressive starting effort of the tournament thus far. The London, Ontorio sophomore shut down Muscatine on just three hits, losing a no-hit big on a bloop single in the sixth while striking out nine batters. ?Our pitchers have really stood up and stepped forward,? Walker said. ?The guys wanted to give their best effort. They had nothing to lose and they wanted to show.? After going hitless through the first two games, Smith led a resilient effort by IHCC?s sophomore leaders at the plate. A solo home-run in the first inning against Marshalltown set the tone every IHCC star to step up, including lead-off hitter Raymond Kruml who nailed three hits including two RBI singles against Muscatine. ?Sean really felt like he wasn?t contributing as much as he would like to,? Walker said. ?He and Raymond both had great regular seasons, but this is the postseason. I think both guys really came into Sunday wanting to bring their level of play back up.? Drew Laidig continued a solid postseason by nailing five hits Sunday, including a 3-5, four-RBI effort against Marshalltown. Catcher Daniel Towe, held out of IHCC?s first two postseason games, responded in his first game action of the tournament by nailing a deep home run as the Falcons avenged Friday?s 11-10 shocker to the Tigers. Indian Hills (47-12) is back in a very familiar situation as the Falcons head into another regional championship Monday. As has been the case in three of the last four years, 17th-ranked IHCC will have to knock off their old nemesis, No. 10 Iowa Western (35-10), twice today beginning at 11 a.m. for another come-from-behind Region XI Championship. ?The guys need to prepare themselves for what they need to do. We have to win that first game to get the second game,? Walker said. ?We?ve coached this team all the way to be in this position, that?s all we could ask for. We?re in the best position possible.?

For Mike Ramlow: 2-1, 1.74 ERA, 9 Games, 41 IP, 19 R, 8 ER, 36 Hits, 62 K's, 10 BB's.

Mother Nature won out today in West Virginia. Power and Legends rained out. Sunday afternoon?s game between the West Virginia Power and Lexington Legends was cancelled due to rain. The game will not be made up later in the season. The game ended after the completion of the top of the second inning with the Power on top 3-0. The game did not last long enough to qualify for an official game, and because the two teams do not meet again in the first half of the season, the stats for the game will not count and the game will not be made up. The Power will begin a two game series against the Hickory Crawdads at L.P. Frans Stadium on Monday night. Hickory will start right hander Kyle Pearson (2-0, 2.14) and West Virginia will counter with right hander Kevin Roberts (2-3, 4.30). The first pitch is scheduled for 6:30 PM.

From the West Virginia Power website: POWER AND SUNS RAINED OUT Charleston, WV (July 19, 2005) ? The West Virginia Power and Hagerstown Suns were scheduled to play their final game of the 2005 season at Appalachian Power Park on Tuesday night, but the rain cancelled the 20th and final game between the two clubs. The game will not be made up because it was the final meeting between the two teams this season. The Power will begin a five game series with the Lakewood BlueClaws at Appalachian Power Park on Wednesday night. The Power will throw right-handed pitcher Josh Baker (1-4, 6.79). The first pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM.

The radar for Atlanta does not look too good for tonight. www.weather.com/weather/m...ated&day=1
