The Lady Vikings started their week out on a high note in Pigeon Forge, defeating Rossford High School 6-4.

Kara Barkovich dominated on the mound, striking out 10 Rossford players in the victory over Rossford. Barkovich surrendered eight hits and four runs over seven innings while walking five.

The Vikings were hot at the plate against Rossford with both Chloe Nale and Kara Barkovich hitting inside of the park home runs. The bats didn’t stop there, with Tori Mann going 3 for 3 with a double and two singles and Bella Katkich going 2 for 4 with a triple.

It was a great team effort in the first outing here in Tennessee the HW Varsity Defense shut down a late surge in the last inning converting a 4-6-3 Double Play. The players seem excited to get some games in while enjoying great weather and a beautiful view!
