In their game against Oskaloosa, the softball team had to maintain their offensive dominance because Osky scored four runs in the first to take a 4-0 lead before Indianola responded with three runs in the third to trim the deficit to one. After Osky launched a run to build a 12-point lead, Indianola scored nine more points in the fourth to take a 9–4 lead. They then added three more points in the sixth, but a late comeback wasn’t enough.
After blanking Osky in the second game, the Indianola team ended the contest early by scoring runs in the first, third, and sixth innings. Indianola, which will visit Waukee Northwest tonight, is currently 12-7 on the season and 8-3 in conference play.
