The Indians scored early and often in this game as we trailed 1-0 going into the bottom of the 1st. We scored 5 runs on 4 hits in the inning with the big blows being Olivia Gordon’s 2 rbi double and then with 2 outs – Lydia Van Veldhuizen also ripped a 2 rbi double to give Osky the lead 5-1 after one inning. Durant would come back to take the lead once again by scoring 5 runs on 5 hits in the 2nd inning but from there on, it was all Oskaloosa as they pound out 13 hits in the next 5 innings and outscore Durant 10-1 to pick up their 2nd win of the season. Van Veldhuizen again had a huge 2 out 2rbi single in the 4th to pad the lead for the Indians.
Overall record: 2-3
