The Norwalk summer sports teams picked up a pair of road shutout victories at Newton Wednesday night, with the #4 in Class 4A Warrior softball team winning 9-0 and the #9 in Class 4A baseball team winning 7-0.

In the softball game, Norwalk scored two in the second and one in the third to get the game underway. A five-run sixth inning put the game out of reach, and the Cardinals were held off the board the rest of the way. Freshman Jaylynn Brandt says that along with solid defense, the keys to continuing their hot streak are playing well in all aspects.

Norwalk improves to 20-6 overall and 13-2 in the Little Hawkeye Conference. They’ll be back in action Friday in a doubleheader at Grinnell.

The baseball team had no trouble in their shutout win. After two scoreless innings, Norwalk scored four runs in the third on one hit, two walks and an error. The Warriors were able to close it out with three more runs scored. Norwalk improves to 21-1 overall and 13-1 in conference play, and will be back in action Friday at Grinnell for a doubleheader. Game 2 will air on 94.3 KNIA.
