HOPKINS, Mo. — With the North Nodaway softball team leading South Nodaway, 2-0, in the top of the fourth inning on Tuesday, play was halted due to lightning in the area.

Play will resume from the point it was paused at 5 p.m. Wednesday in Hopkins, according to North Nodaway athletic director Jake Shipman.

Mustangs freshman pitcher Keagan O’Riley was in the midst of a pitchers’ duel with Longhorns sophomore Elizabeth Turpin. O’Riley had three strikeouts, two walks, and zero runs allowed when the game was delayed. Turpin had gone three innings, giving up a pair of runs on a single from North Nodaway junior second baseman Bethany Herndon.
