It’s
“clutch time” for the Greene County softball team. After leading the Heart of
Iowa Conference all summer, the Rams dropped a 2-1 game to North Polk (Alleman)
last night to fall into second place behind Prairie City-Monroe.
PCM is 11-2 with Greene County right behind at 10-2. North Polk (9-4) is in a three-way race for third place with Gilbert (8-4) and Roland-Story (8-5). Gilbert played at Nevada (1-12) on Tuesday but no score has yet been reported.
The Rams have four games left in conference play. They take on Gilbert tonight in Jefferson in a doubleheader and then host PCM in another key game tomorrow. The PCM battle is actually a resumption of a game stopped by rain on June 15. Greene County had the lead, 4-2, when play was stopped in the bottom of the fourth inning. The Rams had the bases loaded and no outs.
The outcome of the PCM game will have considerable impact on who wins the conference. Greene County closes out league play on Friday at Roland-Story. PCM has games remaining this week with Gilbert and North Polk.
