In game two of the double header the Reds were led by Michael Kauzlarich on the mound with nine strike outs. “Jay and Michael both gave us solid pitching performance,” said Coach Bill Huisman.

McCoy, Carter and Cody Cowan each hit doubles while Kauzlarich, Schmidt, Gray, Armington and Hoffman had singles. McCoy went four-for-four at the plate with five RBIs.

“Defensively both teams got a little sloppy in the second game. We hit very well, McCoy had a special night going six-for-seven with seven RBIs, including a double and a triple,” said Huisman.

Poll

So, the question this week is, “Will it stay or will it go?” The United States Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. wants to close three Farm Service Agency offices in southern Iowa, which includes the FSA office in Centerville, and consolidate the operations in order to save money. Tuesday afternoon a meeting was held at Faith United Methodist Church to allow farmers and other producers who use the Centerville FSA office to make comments about the closing to John R. Whitaker, state executive director Iowa FSA. Many questioned if the meeting Tuesday was necessary because the decision had already been made.

A. Yes, because Washington will listen.
B. No, because the decision to close the Appanoose County FSA office has already been made.
