Newton Falls had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past the Waterloo Vikings 5-4. That's more bragging rights for the Tigers, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
Kylee Lance spent all eight innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and three unearned) runs on five hits and racked up 13 Ks. Those 13 strikeouts gave her a new career-high.
