Tri-County prevailed 4-3 over the Bravettes in a varsity softball game on Wednesday, June 15, in Montezuma.
The Bravettes scored three runs in the third inning to take a 3-0 lead.
But the Trojans scored two in the fourth inning, two in the fifth, and made them stand for the win.
The difference: Tri-County gave itself more chances on the base paths.
The Trojans led 9-5 in hits, 4-1 in stolen bases, 3-0 in walks received, and didn’t make an error, while Montezuma made three.
