Greene County is a Class 3A baseball program that finished its season with a 10-23 record. Van Meter is a 2A program that plays for the State Championship today in Des Moines at Principal Park vs. North Linn (Coggin). Back on June 15 the Rams and VM met in the Saydel Tournament in Des Moines and Greene County pulled the upset by a 2-0 score.

The Bulldogs are 33-3 and they haven’t lost since the Rams shut them out seven weeks ago, a winning streak covering 22 games. NL is the top seed in 2A and VM is the number two seed.

Greene County head baseball coach John Hupp said he could tell Van Meter was a very good team, but the day they played the Rams, who threw a pitcher with a lot of off-speed stuff, the Bulldogs hit a lot of pop-ups and fly balls.
