The #6 in 4A Norwalk softball team traveled to Dowling Catholic Tuesday for a non-conference doubleheader. The Warriors earned a split with a dominant 13-0, five-inning win in game one. The Warriors scored two runs apiece in the first and third innings to take control of the game, but the fourth is when it opened up. Norwalk plated seven runs in that frame to go up 11-0. Two more runs in the fifth was enough to enact the run rule. Game 2 saw the Maroons bounce back, taking the game by a 2-1 final. Norwalk moves to 12-6 overall, and returns to action tonight, hosting Pella Christian in a doubleheader at 5:30 p.m.

The Norwalk baseball team (RV-4A) was also on the road in non-conference play, defeating #8 in 3A Winterset 12-7 in a single game. The Warriors went up 2-1 after two innings, but were able to extend their lead to 11-4 after five. A late insurance run gave the Warriors their most runs scored in a game this season. Norwalk moves to 15-1 with the win, and returns to Little Hawkeye Conference action against Pella Christian tonight. Head Coach Chad Wiedmann says the formula for his team to keep winning is a simple one.

Game 2 of the doubleheader will air on 92.1 KRLS with Jon Mohwinkle and Mark Hanrahan on the call.
