Neoga is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. They put the hurt on Cerro Gordo/Bement with a sharp 13-3 victory on Tuesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Hannah Propst was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she tossed five innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off two hits.
