Trenton, Mo. -- The Indian Hills Falcons had one last chance to get ready for this weekend's Region 11 postseason tourney and the Falcons took advantage of the opportunity with an 11-0 pounding of North Central Missouri on Monday.
Four IHCC pitchers combined to limit the Pirates to just two hits and they struck out 12. Delvin Perez, Jamil Caballero and David Kroger each pitched two innings and Dylan Badura threw the 7th. Both Caballero and Kroger struck out four in their two innings of hitless relief.
Offensively, the Falcons were quiet at the start, going down in order in the first two innings.
Licio Tamburlini led off the 3rd with a home run for the first IHCC baserunner. After a scoreless 4th inning, the visitors broke the game open with a six-run 5th. Seven straight batters reached base in the inning. The only extra-base hit was a three-run double by Matt Cook.
Kelvin Brito doubled home Adam Coleman, who had doubled, in the 6th and the Falcons tacked on three more runs in the 7th on a sacrifice fly by Guillermo Cruz and a two-run single by Colin Bates.
Brito and Tamburlini each had two hits and Coleman scored twice for Indian Hills.
The win ups IHCC's season record to 28-26. They will square off against Marshalltown CC in the first round of the regional tournament at 5:00 this Friday afternoon in Muscatine.
