FAIRMOUNT — Mississinewa continued its outstanding all-around play and earned the Grant Four softball championship on Saturday at Madison-Grant.
However, the day didn’t start well for Ole Miss as the host Argylls scored five runs in the top of the first inning of semifinal No. 1. The Indians answered with two in the first then scored all but two frames.
