TAMA — South Tama’s softball team ended a pair of long losing streaks Monday night, one of which had lasted nearly nine years. The Trojans defeated Vinton-Shellsburg in the first game of a Wamac Conference doubleheader, 11-1. That ended an 80-game skid that dated back to June 26, 2021 (last win, against Eagle Grove). It also snapped a 151-game Wamac slump.
A win, a save, 6 RBIs for Rachel Eglseder, and Ed-Co sweeps North Linn for the first time in 13 year

The Gazette offers audio versions of articles using Instaread. Some words may be mispronounced. Whatever word is the opposite of “hangover,” it applies. For the Cedar Rapids Prairie softball program, one swing changed everything. “I hope we can keep it rolling, because we have a good thing going right now,” Coach Alisha Frese said. Good, as in 10-0. That’s where the Class 5A sixth-ranked Hawks stand after Tuesday’s home doubleheader sweep of Cedar Falls.
