Boaz, Ala. – After Mother Nature gave the Indians a two-week break after opening day, Coach Rick Collier and his squad were finally able to get a doubleheader in against Snead State Monday.
The No. 5 Indians (2-2) held a three or more run lead in both games but saw Snead State rally to pick up the sweep with an 11-4 game one win and a 7-4 victory in game two.
