Iowa Central Softball On 11 Game Win Streak

To say, Iowa Central Softball has been on a hot streak lately is an understatement of massive proportions. The Tritons have won 11 straight and 12 of their last 13. Iowa Central is scheduled to host Iowa Lakes in a double header Wednesday, before they go on a 6 game road swing.

In the seconds game, Southeastern led 6-4 until Iowa Central put up a 7 spot in the 5th. Tritons then led 11-6, Southeastern rallied to score 6 in the top of the 6th and led 12-11. Iowa Central answered with 5 in their half of the 6th. They would shutdown Southeastern in the 7th to win it, 16-12.  Thilges had three hits in the nightcap, two were for extra bases. Abby Wilson had 3 hits and drove in 5. Emily English came on in relief and got the win in the circle.
