WELLSVILLE — It wasn’t the end of the world.

Iola had just been outplayed by a very good Wellsville team and Wellsville’s ace Tony Dougan was on the top of his game. There was no shame in dropping a game and falling into a first-place tie with the Eagles in the Pioneer League and having one more game against Wellsville to likely decide the league championship.

Then the Mustangs decided they didn’t want to accept fate.

Entering the seventh inning, Iola trailed Wellsville 3-0, but they had the heart of their order due up. Ethan Scheibmeir led off the inning.

The junior drew a walk, putting senior Coleson Wiggin at bat. After a blooper in the first inning, Wiggin was seeking redemption. A wild pitch had the Iola catcher looking for the ball, allowing Wellsville to score from second base.
