The Norwalk softball team began its season with a trip to Huxley to take on Ballard, and came away with a 7-3 win. A pair of RBI doubles in the second inning Addi Downe and McKenzie Hunter got the Warriors on the board with an early lead. Another run in the third was quickly answered by three Bomber runs in the bottom of the frame to tie the score. But freshman Jaylynn Brandt broke the tie in the fifth with a two-run scoring hit.

Norwalk would add another run in the inning and an insurance run in the seventh to seal the win.

Sophomore Zadie Wadle was spectacular in the circle, pitching the complete game. She struck out 13 batters while giving up six hits and issuing just one walk. Jayden Lammers, Charlee Peters and Addi Downe led the way at the plate with two hits apiece. Norwalk starts the season 1-0 and returns to action tonight, hosting Southeast Polk. Pregame coverage begins at 6:45 on 94.3 KNIA with Jon Mohwinkle on the call.
