PANORA — Playing on their home field offered little advantage for the Panorama baseball team last week, as Ogden posted a 4-2 win Wednesday before West Central Valley claimed both ends of a doubleheader Thursday, all in WCAC action.[wpedon id=”85410″ align=”left”]
A trio of Ogden pitchers held Panorama to just three hits and a walk in claiming the 4-2 win. Taylor Engleen yielded two runs on two hits and walk in 1-1/3 innings, with winning pitcher Jacob Craven allowing one hit in five frames when Jade Thompson struck out one in two-thirds of a stanza on the hill. Craven struck out eight and Engleen one.
Chad Mohr had two singles and a double for the Bulldogs (19-5, 15-3), with Wes Clausen adding two hits and driving in two runs.
If Des Moines Christian defeats Van Meter Monday, Ogden and Van Meter will each win the WCAC title (the conference does not award “shared” championships), otherwise Van Meter will claim the top spot unchallenged.
Luke South, Jacob Iseminger and Dominic Walker each had singles against Ogden, with Hunter Holmes drawing a walk. Iseminger drove in both South and Steve Soreide for the Panther runs.
South was handed the loss on the hill. He surrendered four runs (one earned) on five hits while finishing with four strikeouts.[wpedon id=”85410″ align=”left”]
