The Luxemburg-Casco softball team has just a few games left before opening tournament play as a number one seed.

The Luxemburg-Casco Spartans defeated the Waupaca Comets 5-1 and claimed the outright North Eastern Conference championship in the process last Thursday afternoon. The Spartans took care of business early with four first-inning runs and cruised to the victory while benefiting from Denmark’s upset of the Freedom Irish 5-0 to clinch the conference title.

Their opponent, New Holstein, is tied for first place in the Eastern Wisconsin Conference and has their own impressive record of 20-2. Since losing to co-leader Chilton, they have won six straight games and have scored at least 10 runs in their previous four matchups.

The first pitch is set for 4:30 p.m.
