Goerdt's 3 homers power Kohawks

Coe senior Michael Goerdt was being mobbed by his teammates at home plate Saturday at Daniels Park when one of the Central College players asked a good question.

"What are we pitching to HIM for?," the Central player wondered aloud in frustration.

The Dutchmen did not learn their lesson and Goerdt made them pay dearly.

Goerdt set a school record with three home runs in a single game and belted the game-winner with nobody out in the bottom of the ninth for a dramatic 7-6 victory in the nightcap of an Iowa Conference doubleheader.

Central won the first game, 8-0.

Coe's Cook gets 400th victory

Michael Goerdt scored the winning run on a wild pitch in the first game, then followed with a homer and three runs scored in the nightcap as Coe swept past Central, 3-2 and 7-3 on Friday at Daniels Park, giving Kohawk Coach Steve Cook his 400th career victory.

AJ Reuter pitched six innings of one-run baseball, striking out seven. Despite giving up the tying run in the top of the seventh, Tony Becker picked up the win.

The Kohawks led just 3-2 entering the bottom of the eighth in Game 2 where Goerdt, who had earlier doubled, cracked a solo home run as part of a four-run inning. Catcher Grant Henning had two hits and Cole Tomlinson had a bases-clearing double in the eighth.

Jack Hoffmann got the win in relief, pitching two scoreless innings.
