Iola-Scandy overcomes 4-0 deficit to win

By Holly Neumann

Manawa and Iola-Scandinavia’s softball teams gave their fans plenty to cheer about April 11 in their first of two matchups this season.

Manawa scored the game’s first four runs, but the Thunderbirds came back to hand the Wolves a 13-11 loss in Manawa.

I-S improved to 4-0 on the season, while Manawa fell to 3-1.

Manawa took a 4-0 lead into the third inning, but the T-Birds came up with five runs to take a 5-4 lead in the fourth.

The T-Birds eventually built a 13-8 lead. Skye Amador’s three-run home run in the bottom of the seventh cut the deficit to two runs, but the Wolves couldn’t get any closer.

Both teams will hit the road for Central Wisconsin-8 games Thursday, April 14. Manawa will travel to Shiocton, while I-S will face Weyauwega-Fremont.

First pitch for both games is set for 4:30 p.m.
