The Mid-Prairie Golden Hawk softball team opened 2016 on Tuesday with a 4-3 win at Clear Creek Amana.

The Clippers scored single runs in the first, fifth and sixth innings to build a 3-0 lead. Down to their final three outs, the Hawks put together a big rally, scoring four times to jump ahead and closed down the bottom of the frame to secure the victory. Amber Kral was one for three for Mid-Prairie in the win. Alex Rath, Clarice Murphy, Ali Naylor and Abby Tornow all scored runs in the game winning rally. With the win Mid-Prairie is now 1-0 on the year, they will travel to West Liberty for a doubleheader tonight.
