The Harlan Cyclones have climbed to No. 7 in the Iowa High School Baseball Coaches Association weekly rankings.
The Harlan Cyclones baseball team has secured the No. 7 spot in the latest Iowa High School Baseball Coaches Association (IHSBCA) rankings for 3A. With an overall record of 15-5 and a 7-4 standing in conference play, the Cyclones are gaining momentum. The team, currently fourth in the Hawkeye 10, recently achieved three consecutive wins following a tough double-header loss to Glenwood.
Solid pitching has been pivotal to their success, with seniors Brayden Ernst, Brock Lemerick, and Caleb Schleis leading the charge. Collectively, they boast an 11-4 record and impressive ERAs, with Ernst at 1.94. Freshman Colton Schneider has also excelled in the bullpen, leading the conference with five saves.
