Knoxville knocks Cinderella Independence out of baseball state tournament
It struck midnight for Cinderella Independence (14-23) at the state baseball tournament. Knoxville scored four runs in the fourth inning to come from behind and post a 5-3 win in this Class 3A quarterfinal at Principal Park in Des Moines.
Knoxville improves to 25-9. Indee finished 14-24.
The Mustangs went down 1-2-3 in the top of the first inning. A two-out triple off the wall in left-center by cleanup hitter Mike Jacks scored a run in the bottom of the first for Knoxville.
The drive would have been out of most high school ballparks. So would have an ensuing fly ball to the warning track in dead center off the bat of Lance Daugherty.
