Chickasaw girls find themselves on a hot streak

Paige Wisner may have summed up the last three games for the New Hampton softball team with her statement.
“Once somebody does something good, we all want to get out there and follow suit,” said the outfielder after a Chickasaw 7-1 win over Decorah Wednesday.
The final score made the game seem like a relatively easy one, but  the Chickasaws held a slim 2-1 lead over the Vikings until Kayla Crooks started the sixth inning out with a double. The “something good” that Wisner talked about.
It was much the same the night before in an 8-0 win over Nashua-Plainfield, and even though the Chickasaws blasted Denver Monday in three innings, 13-1, it took an inning to get the bats going there as well.
After Decorah scored a run in the first inning of Wednesday’s conference game, New Hampton answered in the bottom half of the frame as Maddi Moorman drove in a run with a blooper single, and Wisner singled and scored in the third for the 2-1 lead. But the next two innings the NH girls were held scoreless, until that Crooks hit opened the gates.
