Freshman Softball
Norwalk vs. Indianola
To date the freshman
softball team played 10
games accruing a record of
two wins, seven losses and
one tie. The team started
the season at home against
a tough Indianola team.
The Indians broke through
with a run in the third in-
ning, but the Warriors
didn't waste much time
scoring a run of their own
in the fourth inning. The
score didn't change for the
remainder of the game.
Hitting for the Warriors
included Calyn Thomp-
son, Abbey Montgomer
Betty Hill with one hit
each, Devan Loffredo with
two hits and Sierrra
Nelson with three hits.
Norwalk vs. Grinnell
The next game the
freshman team would play
was a week and a half later
against Grinnell. The War-
riors came out swinging
and posted a 9-1 lead at the
end of the first inning. The
Warriors completed the
game winning 13-3 with
Nelson going the distance
on the mound for the War-
riors. The scoring was
driven by Montgomery
and Thompson with two
and three hits each.
Norwalk vs. South Tama
The team then traveled
to South Tama to take on
the Trojans. The game was
all knotted at zero going
into the top of the third
inning when the Warriors
broke through with three
runs coming from singles
by Michaela Pearson and
Sami Brooner. Also during
the inning Montgomery,
Paige Lammers and
Maddie Cornish drew
walks that helped aid in
the scoring effort. Leading
4-0 in the fourth inning the

allowing the Trojans to
score five unanswered
runs ultimately allowing
them to win the game.
Norwalk vs. Dallas
Center-Grimes

to Dallas Center-Grimes to
take part in a double-
header. There were several
