The Luxemburg-Casco softball team plated three runs in the first inning and never looked back in an 8-1 victory over Little Chute Thursday night.

The three runs were needed after the Mustangs scored in their half of the first inning after they strung together a string of singles with an error in between. The Spartans took advantage of some early game jitters to draw three walks and three singles to take a lead they would not give up. They would put the game out of reach with two runs in the fourth inning and three more in the sixth.

Grace Kahr, Kate Van Ess, and Jillian Jorgensen had two hits in the game. Jorgensen and Rylan Kaminski drove in a pair of runs, while three others registered one RBI. Van Ess won in relief, pitching four innings of two-hit relief while striking out a pair.

The Spartans are back in action Friday with a doubleheader against Denmark at 4 p.m.
