The A Iola Indians picked up their 20th win of the season against Ottawa on Thursday at the Humboldt Sports Complex. Iola easily won the doubleheader by 12-6 and 14-0. 

Ottawa opened game 1 with three runs in the first, but the Indians quickly responded. Iola opened the scoring with a run off a wild pitch from Gavin Page. Later in the inning with two outs, Avery Blaufuss connected on a line drive to centerfield to sntach his first RBI of the day. Trey Sommer tied the game with a sharply-hit infield ground ball that was mishandled, allowing a run to score. 

The Indians took the lead in the second with an RBI from TJ Taylor, and added to their lead in the third. Four straight walks allowed a run to come across, and a passed ball gave Sommer the chance to extend Iola’s lead to 6-3.
