D-NH softball earns hard-fought postseason victory

Published by admin on Fri, 09/13/2019 - 8:42am

DIKE - The Dike-New Hartford softball team hadn’t won a playoff game in three years heading into Monday night’s district opener against Lake Mills, so walking off the field victorious meant a lot to the young team. But it didn’t come easy.
           
The Wolverines (11-13) used a six-run rally in the bottom of the fifth to retake the lead and eventually pull away to win 14-8 at Bob Smith Field in Dike, and Abby Sohn went the distance on the mound. D-NH plays Saint Ansgar at Central Springs High School in Manly on Wednesday.

One key piece of the larger puzzle is about to fall into place as the 30-spot campsite just east of the grandstand is set to be ready for action by the time this year’s festivities commence on July 16.
