VINTON – The rollercoaster season for the Vinton-Shellsburg Vikettes hit what was – hopefully – its low point Wednesday night when the Vikettes were pounded at home by Dyersville Beckman, 8-3.
The loss dropped the Vikettes 7-6 on the season, but left them winless (0-4) at Thole Field for season. And it was tough loss, as the Blazers entered the game with a mark of 2-9.
