CARBONDALE Lightning and rain put a halt to a possible Iola softball split Monday night at Santa Fe Trail.
After an extra-inning 6-5 loss in game one, the Fillies found themselves in pretty good shape, tied up at 2 with the bases loaded and two outs in the second inning. Unfortunately, at that point umpires suspended the game thanks to nearby lightning and an incoming thunderstorm bringing massive wind, rain and hail.
I was really proud of them for just battling through adversity, head coach Chris Weide said. Weve had some girls who are out and some girls who are at State FFA so we had to have some of our younger girls step up and they did. Its nice to see them fight, despite the outcome.
