COUNCIL BLUFFS — Back on the same field where their season ended a year ago, the Indian Hills softball team made an early statement in the race for this year's regional championship.
Mary-Paige Withers delivered her biggest hit yet of her freshman season at Indian Hills, driving a pitch over the fence in left field in the top of the eighth inning to snap a 3-3 tie in the second game of a doubleheader at Iowa Western. The Warriors earned two wins in two games to open Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) play, holding on for a 5-4 win in game one before edging the Reivers 4-3 in the extra-inning nightcap.
