Two high school baseball teams that reside out of Dallas County matched up Tuesday night.

The number nine ranked Dallas Center-Grimes Mustangs in class 4a faced off against the number one ranked Van Meter Bulldogs in Class 2a. The Bulldogs started off the game on a good note in the first inning as they scored three runs off a pass ball and a two run homerun by Ike Speltz. The Mustangs would then score runs in the second and third innings from Dalton Bergthold reaching on an error and Taitn Gray hitting a double to make the score 3 to 2. Dallas Center-Grimes would strike again in the fifth inning by a Gray homerun to right field, but the Bulldogs would come from behind in the sixth inning and score two runs and win by a final score of 5 to 4.

Ty Mikkelsen for the Mustangs went five innings on the mound and allowed five runs and was tagged for the loss while Van Meters Austin Baumhover grabbed the win in relief.

The Mustangs ends their eight game winning streak and fall to a regular season (18-6). They will face off against Pella on the road tonight.
