Softball
Braves win WIC title
Indian Creek claimed the Western Indiana Conference championship with a 1-0 victory at Sullivan on Tuesday night.
The Braves plated the game’s lone run in the fourth inning. Dori Knight singled, and pinch runner Talea Bolling advanced on a sacrifice and scored on an error. That was enough for Knight, who allowed just three hits thanks to a stellar defensive effort. The infield turned three double plays and center fielder Kasey Wilhoit robbed Sullivan of a sure extra-base hit.
“They set a goal early in the year to go out and get it,” Indian Creek coach Gary Mitchell said, “and they went out and took care of business.”
Rachel Kyle had a pair of hits for Braves.
