Record-Breaking Feats in Martensdale!

Martensdale, Iowa, is buzzing with excitement as a local high school athlete has just accomplished something extraordinary! Trey Wight, a senior shortstop for Martensdale-St. Marys High School, has shattered the record for the most doubles in a single season in Iowa high school baseball history. That’s right—he just hit his 31st double during a recent postseason game, surpassing the previous record of 30 doubles set back in 2010 by Marshall Koehn of Solon.

A Look at Wight’s Stellar Season

This season has been nothing short of spectacular for Wight. In a decisive matchup where Martensdale-St. Marys defeated Stanton with a score of 16-1, Wight showcased his hitting prowess by going 2-for-4 with a solid RBI and managing to cross home plate not once, but twice. With a mind-blowing batting average of .545, he is on fire at the plate!

To top it off, this talented player has racked up 100 total bases throughout the season. His on-base percentage of .608 reflects his ability to get on base consistently. And we can’t forget about his impressive slugging percentage of .909! Wight has not only wowed fans with his doubles but has also launched three home runs over the outfield fence this season. When it comes to driving in runs, he has successfully brought in 36 runs and scored a whopping 44 times himself, in addition to being walked 17 times. It’s safe to say that Wight has been a key player for his team this year!

Throwing Heat on the Mound

But wait, there’s more! Trey Wight isn’t just making waves with his bat; he’s also a formidable force on the mound. In just 16 innings of pitching, he has tallied an impressive 26 strikeouts. Opponents batting against him have only managed a meager .197 average, showcasing just how tough he is to hit off of. Talk about a dual-threat athlete!

What’s Next for the Blue Devils?

As it stands, Martensdale-St. Marys has posted a robust record of 28-5 so far this season. Fans are eagerly anticipating the Class 1A, District 13 final where the Blue Devils will host Earlham on Saturday night. The stakes are high, and a victory in this game will propel them into another showdown on July 15 against either Lenox or Mount Ayr. That match could possibly be a gateway to the coveted state tournament, something the Blue Devils narrowly missed out on last year after falling to Bedford in the substate championship.

Community Pride

The atmosphere in Martensdale is filled with pride as everyone supports their high school team, especially with Wight’s exceptional achievements lighting up the season. The community is rallying behind their young athletes as they chase their dreams of making it to state. Stay tuned as Trey Wight and his teammates aim to make history once again in this exciting postseason journey!
