HAMPTON – As recent as late April, the members of the Hampton-Dumont baseball team were teammates with a lot of the members of the opposing dugout on Monday, June 8.
Never mind the fact that the Bulldogs were 6-0 going in and Iowa Falls-Alden was 1-5.
The two teams know each other’s tendencies too well in order for this game to be a blowout. And that was far from the case as H-D emerged from a 6-2 grind-it-out win to go to 7-0 overall.
“When you know what the other team is trying to do and they know what our players are wanting to do, it creates an advantage to the other team,” said winning pitcher Cole Miller, “but it goes both ways, so it wasn’t too big of an advantage.”
More on this story will be found in the June 17 print and online editions of the Hampton Chronicle.
