On Wednesday, March 22 the Lady Indians hosted sectional rival Keyser in a key early season softball match up. The first three innings both teams were scoreless. The top of the fourth inning Keyser jumped out to a 3-0 lead. In the bottom of the fourth inning Berkeley Springs cut into the lead with a Harrington run. The fifth inning was scoreless, how- ever the top of the sixth inning proved to be disastrous for the Lady Indians. Keyser’ s offense came alive and exploded for nine runs to push their lead to 12-1. That would stay the final score as Keyser took the win over the Tribe.
