IMS holds off WACO

IMS scored three runs in the top of the first inning in Tuesday?s Southeast Iowa Super Conference North Division softball game at WACO, and then held off the Warriors for a 4-3 win.

IMS added a run in the sixth, and the visitors took a 4-0 lead into the bottom of the seventh. WACO doubled to score a run, and then an IMS throwing error allowed two Warriors to score and trim the lead to 4-3. But IMS pitcher Laura Hochstetler ended the game with a strikeout.

Sophomore Demi Brezina led IMS with three hits, and Hochstetler had a pair of hits. Junior Jacayla Litwiller had a pair of RBIs, while Hochstetler and senior Keilah Brokaw both drove in a run apiece.

IMS (1-1, 1-1 SEISC North) hosts conference rival Lone Tree tonight.
