BRISTOL, Va. — John Battle and Gate City are both approaching the rest of the softball season with a focus on improving every game and being ready to challenge in the postseason. Battle’s focus on getting more offensive production showed Wednesday as the Lady Trojans pounded out eight hits and took advantage of five walks and three Gate City errors to take a 9-0 Mountain 7 District win at Battle Field. Co-head coach Joey Blevins was pleased with the way the bats came to life for Battle (8-3, 5-1). “We’ve been trying to get the bats to warm up a little,” said Blevins.
