Braves win 8-2 over HLV

Montezuma used a four-run fifth inning to create separation, then rolled to an 8-2 victory in varsity baseball on a hot Monday afternoon, July 5.

This was a game that had been postponed earlier in the summer because of scheduling conflicts.

HLV scored a run in the first inning, but the Braves tied the score with a run in the second. Then, Montezuma scored two in the third and one in the fourth to take a 4-1 lead.

The four-run fifth by the Braves broke it open.

The win allowed Montezuma to tie HLV at 10-6 in the final South Iowa Cedar League standings.

The Braves finished the regular season at 11-6, while HLV is in at 11-8.
