The Indianola softball team defeated the Scarlets of Des Moines East Tuesday night in a non-conference matchup 13-4. Indianola struck early and often, scoring two runs in the first on an error and a Kiley Kindelspire RBI hit, then Kindelspire hit a three-run home run in the second to blow the game open 5-0.

The Indians added another four in the fourth that included a bases-clearing double by Izzie Benge, Indianola added insurance in the fifth with a Mara Bishop RBI double, and Bishop hit another home run in the seventh, a sacrifice fly from Selia Becker, and an RBI hit from Jordyn Gripp.

Head coach Stacy Evans tells KNIA Sports this late in the season, you are looking to clean up the little things and learn from mistakes made earlier in the season.
Indianola softball and baseball travel to Warren County rival Norwalk tonight for a pair of doubleheaders, with all four games heard live on KNIA and KNIAKRLS.com.

Softball will be broadcast on the KNIA3 stream on KNIAKRLS.com, with baseball on 94.3 KNIA with Andrew Swadner on the play-by-play. Pregame coverage begins at approximately 5:15pm.
