Lady Trojans Rally From 9-0 Deficit To Beat Tippecanoe Valley
The first three innings of the softball game at Triton Monday belonged to Tippecanoe Valley. The next three belonged to the host Lady Trojans. The last two was a matter of who could find a way to score, and Triton scratched a run out in the bottom of the eighth for a 11-10 non-conference win. The Lady Vikings bolted to a 9-0 lead after three innings. Valley took advantage of three walks in the second inning to push across five runs on just three base hits. Mia Gunnels capped the rally with a two-run double to the left field corner. After the third inning, people began to think the game would be a five-inning run-rule affair, but Triton had other ideas. The Lady Trojans got on the board in the fourth on Crystal Brown’s bloop double to left, driving in a pair of runs.

Whitko Roundup: Wildcats Sweep Bluffton
Whitko needed 10 innings to claim an 8-7 victory in the opening game of a doubleheader with visiting Bluffton, then won the second game 10-0 in five innings for the sweep Saturday. In the opener the Wildcats trailed 6-3 heading into the bottom of the seventh and final inning of regulation play. Drew Bradford cranked a three-run homer to tie the game. He also had a pair of doubles and was the winning pitcher in the contest. Bluffton scratched across a run in the top of the 10th to retake the lead, but Whitko won the game on Bradford’s infield single. River West scored the tying run, and Bailey Platt scored when the Bluffton third baseman made a bad throw to first.
