An American River Valley Conference softball doubleheader begins tonight as the Central Dutch and Simpson Storm go toe-to-toe in Simpson.

Central is coming into the series with a 4-3 record, including a 2-1 conference record. After being shut down due to a COVID-19 outbreak, the Dutch got off to a good start taking two out of three from Luther even though they mustered only eight total runs.

Simpson comes into the series with a 7-8 record, with a 5-4 conference record. The Storm have won two out of their three conference series, including sweeping Buena Vista and taking two out of three from Loras, including scoring at least five runs in each of their games with the Duhawks.

The doubleheader will begin at 3:00 PM at the Simpson Softball Complex. The games will be broadcast on the KNIA3 stream at kniakrls.com with Alex Koch on the call.
