Muscatine, IA -- Iowa Western jumped out to an 8-0 lead after an inning and a half and went on to defeat Indian Hills, 14-4, at the Region 11 tournament on Sunday.
The game was delayed for a day by rain, and the Reivers wasted no time in taking the early advantage. They scored five times against IHCC starter Cashtyn DeLeeuw in the top of the 1st with Levi Meyer capping the inning with a grand slam.
Iowa Western tacked on three more runs in the 2nd.
Indian Hills got on the scoreboard with a pair of runs in their half of the 2nd. Miguel Sanchez doubled home the first run and the second scored on a groundout by David Kroger.
Sophomore righthander Caleb Phillips came out of the Indian Hills bullpen and was outstanding, shutting out the Reivers for the next six innings. But the IHCC bats weren't able to do much against Iowa Western's all-region lefty, Taylor Eikenberry.
The score stayed 8-2 until Iowa Western posted six runs in the top of the 9th after Phillips had been replaced by Tyler Sparger.
Indian Hills picked up two runs in the bottom of the 9th on an infield grounder by Mitch Osnowitz and a run-scoring single by Carter Sherban.
Iowa Western pounded out 21 hits in the win.
