D-NH baseball rallies twice against A-P (PHOTOS)

DIKE – Most scoring deficits are going to feel tame for Dike-New Hartford baseball this summer.

The Wolverines showed that they could erase a 10-run deficit on the road at Charles City on June 7, and D-NH needed to find a way exactly one week later when rival Aplington-Parkersburg came to town.

The Falcons brought some of the toughest challenges the Wolverines have faced yet, but a couple of rallies kept D-NH out of the loss column with an NICL East sweep at Dike-New Hartford High School.

Matt Reinicke delivered a game-winning single as D-NH claimed Game 1, 2-1, in eight innings. A-P put up five runs in the first two innings against D-NH in Game 2, but the Wolverines bounced back for a 7-5 victory to complete the sweep.

"There's no quit with these guys," D-NH head coach Sean Leonard said. "We knew it'd be a battle, but I'm really proud of how the guys came back and chipped away."
