The Indianola baseball and softball teams swept Newton on the road in Little Hawkeye Conference play Monday, baseball winning 9-1 and softball winning 6-0. The baseball team scored four runs in the third, with RBI hits from Luke Rockhold, Jack Strong, Casey Stecker, and Noah Johnston. Indianola then added three runs in the sixth taking advantage of Newton errors and a Kasey Carter RBI hit, and plated two more in the seventh that included an RBI hit from Andrew DeWall. Indianola improves to 20-11 on the season, and will travel to Norwalk for a doubleheader tomorrow.

The Indianola softball team scored a run in the first on a Cardinal error, another in the third on a Jordyn Gripp RBI hit, a Brynn Ortlund triple in the fourth plated another, and a three-run home run from Mara Bishop doubled the Indianola scored and would be enough to earn the win. Head coach Stacy Evans tells KNIA Sports there are no easy nights in conference play, so any win you can earn is a good win and something you had to play hard for.

Indianola is now 20-10 on the season, and they will travel to Des Moines East for a non-conference matchup tonight.
