Scoring five runs in the bottom of the second inning, crossing the plate three times in both the first and third frames and finishing with two more runs in the bottom of the fourth, Murray County Central ended the high school fast-pitch softball season for the Heron Lake-Okabena / Fulda girls last Thursday (May 23), earning a 15-0 playoff victory over the Coyotes.
The game was rescheduled after being weathered out on a miserable cold, windy and wet day on Tuesday, May 21. The contest was an opening round game of the Section 3A South Tournament and was played on MCC’s home field in Slayton.
