Softball Preview: Webber Trojans vs. Grayville Bison

The Webber Trojans will head out to challenge the Grayville Bison at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.

Webber took an eight-run defeat the last time they faced off against Wayne City, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. The Trojans sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 14-12 victory over the Indians on Thursday. The win was some much needed relief for the Trojans as it spelled an end to their six-game losing streak.
