Spirit Lake’s softball team suffered its first loss of the young season during a road trip to Newell-Fonda on Wednesday, May 25. The Mustangs topped the Indians 8-1 in Fonda.

“Unfortunately we were not able to get tough enough to handle the weather conditions,” Spirit Lake coach Rachel Fisher said. “Newell-Fonda showed their toughness by battling through the very rainy weather.”
