The South Winn softball team (6-8, 2-0 UIC) is back on the right track, having won two games Monday night.
Hosting West Central (1-8, 1-2 UIC), the Warriors won the first game 18-14, coming from behind in the sixth inning. After plating one in the first, the Blue Devils struck for eight runs in the third to lead 9-2. The Warriors gave up two in each the fourth and fifth, but cut the visitors’ lead to 12-7 with four in the fifth. The comeback took place in the sixth as the Warriors pushed 11 runs across the plate.
Alyssa Holthaus and Aubree Gesing split time in the pitcher’s circle with Holthaus earning the win.
