The Field of Dreams in Dyersville will host its first-ever high school baseball game this (Monday) evening, when the Clarion-Goldfield-Dows Cowboys take on the Gaels of Fort Dodge, St. Edmond. It’s an event that’s had the Clarion community buzzing.

CGD baseball coach Ryan Nail. The idea dated back to Nail being one of the lucky few thousand people that attended the White Sox-Yankees game in Dyersville back in 2021.

Nail says the reaction from his players when he told them of the game back in December, wasn’t a unanimous reaction.

Nail believes Monday will showcase one of the best crowds they’ll have all season.

J.T. Poston is hoping for another strong finish to this season. Poston has three top 10 finishes on the PGA Tour this season and returns to the Quad Cities next month to defend his title in the John Deere Classic. He posted the first wire-to-wire victory in 30 years in 2022.

The win at the John Deere Classic was the second of his career and first since claiming the Wyndham Championship in 2019.

Poston had a history of struggling at the John Deere Classic before winning last year.

The John Deere Classic is July 6th through the 9th.
