CHANUTE — It was a tale of two teams in Iola’s AA American Legion’s doubleheader split with Chanute Tuesday night. The first game featured a ferocious offense, while the second game saw the Indian bats go silent. After losing only their second game of the season Monday night, the Indians rolled to a 11-1 win in game one against Chanute.

“I thought the first game went very well,” coach Bruce Faulhaber said. “We finally hit a little bit better. The pitching was good, so I thought overall it was a good game.”

The first two innings of the game resulted in only two base runners for Iola, a walk by Jacob Carpenter and a single by Caleb Vanatta. Alex Murrow got the start and got out of a shaky situation in the first inning. With the bases loaded by two singles and one walk, Murrow got out of the inning on two ground outs. In the second inning, Chanute scored on a wild pitch. Murrow settled down after that as Iola’s offense took control starting in the third inning.
