May 15—On paper, the high school softball game Friday night at Terre Haute South looked like a mismatch.
One team was big, strong and experienced, with three college-bound seniors — and a fourth who would be if that were her preference — and a Division I pitcher capable of throwing fastballs in the low 60s.
The other team was small, very young and with a pitcher whose fastball doesn't cross the plate in in the low 60s, on the rare occasions she decides to throw something straight.
But, like the proverbial dog in the fight, Terre Haute South's Braves don't recognize what some think are disadvantages, and after Friday's 3-1 win over visiting Northview — South's 13th win in a row — coach Jeff Biggs isn't about to tell them otherwise.
