Moeller's single in eighth gives Marion second MAC win
MARIA STEIN - Hannah Moeller's two-out single in the bottom of the eight scored Mindy Puthoff to give Marion Local a 2-1 win over Versailles in Midwest Athletic Conference softball action at the Flyer Athletic Complex in Maria Stein.
MINSTER - There is a downside to scoring 13 runs in the top of the first inning.

A year after it looked like his professional football dream had ended, Jordan Thompson now has a new opportunity.
The former Parkway and Ohio University standout signed with the Detroit Lions Friday after participating in a veterans mini-camp at the Lions' training complex earlier this week.
