After a quiet weekend, the Norwalk baseball and softball teams return to action Monday, hosting Indianola in single varsity games.

On the softball diamond, it’ll be a battle of ranked teams for sole possession of first place in the Little Hawkeye standings. Both teams enter 7-1 in league play. Norwalk is ranked #6 in Class 4A while Indianola is #6 in Class 5A. The Indians have won 13 straight in the series, dating back to 2016. First pitch is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at the Norwalk softball field. Jon Mohwinkle will call the action on KNIA3 with pregame coverage beginning at 6:45.

Both baseball teams bring win streaks into the game. Norwalk has won seven straight while Indianola has won three straight. A Warrior win will keep the team atop the league standings, while Indianola will look to get back on the right track after their 11-game win streak in the series was snapped last year. First pitch is scheduled for 7:30. Pregame coverage begins at 7:15 on 94.3 KNIA with Andrew Swadner and Walt Herron on the call.
