OTTAWA — The Iola AA Indians got on the board early and never let off the gas in an 8-0 victory at Ottawa for the “Strikeout Breast Cancer” game Tuesday night.
Tre Wilson had a team-high three hits and drove in two runs to lead Iola’s (15-4) offense while Trey Sommer and Jack White drove in a team-high two runs apiece. Trevor Church earned the win on the mound, tossing a shutout through five innings while striking out eight.
Sommer kick-started the scoring for the Indians in the top of the first when he tripled to center field to plate Wilson for the 1-0 lead.
Wilson struck for an RBI groundout to third base to bring home Church for the 2-0 advantage in the third.
An inning later, Logan Page singled to right field to score Sam Hull for the 3-0 lead. White singled to center field to score Rogan Weir for the 4-0 advantage one at bat later.
Hull came home on a throwing error in the top of the sixth to make it a 5-0 game before White grounded to shortstop for a fielder’s choice which brought home Weir for the 6-0 lead. Wilson then singled to right field to score White for the 7-0 advantage in the sixth. 
Two batters later, Sommer walked with the bases loaded to bring home Church for the 8-0 lead. On the mound, Sommer came on in relief for a no-hit sixth inning, securing the 8-0 victory.
The Indians have now swept the Ottawa Post 60 Arrows this season, 4-0. Iola grabbed the season opening victory against Ottawa in Topeka in the season opener, 3-1, and then took down the Arrows at home on June 13, 8-1 and 3-2. 
Iola travels to Garnett Post 48 on Thursday at 6 p.m.
