Indians drop 16th straight in MAC

FORT RECOVERY - Their first MAC win in three seasons isn't going to come easily.

The Fort Recovery Indians had a 2-1 lead against Midwest Athletic Conference rival Coldwater Tuesday evening. But the Cavaliers scored four times in the bottom of the fourth inning on the way to a 6-3 high school softball victory over the Tribe.

Kinsey Wenning took the loss for FRHS, which has lost 16 straight MAC games with its last win coming 5-2 over Versailles on May 17, 2006. She allowed six runs - four earned - on seven hits while striking out eight batters.

Kelly Thien had two hits, a run and an RBI for the Indians (5-6, 0-2 MAC), who trailed 1-0 before scoring single runs in the second and third innings to take their brief lead. Joanna Snyder went 2-for-3 with an RBI, Amy Hart had a double and an RBI and Josie Guggenbiller doubled and scored a run.
