Spartans baseball grounds Comets twice

Luxemburg-Casco clobbered Waupaca for the second time in three weeks, requiring just five innings to beat them 13-2.

 

The Spartans answered a 1-0 deficit to the host Comets with ten runs in the third inning. Michael Bostwick delivered the inning's most significant blow when he deposited the fourth pitch of the at-bat over the fence for a three-run homer. Two runs in the fourth and one more in the fifth ended the game despite the Rockets tacking on one more run before calling it a day. Drew Bandow went 3-4 with two RBI in addition to going the distance on the mound, striking out three, and allowing two runs (0 ER) while scattering six hits. Max Thayse went 2-2 with two RBI.

 

The Comets traveled to Luxemburg to take on the Spartans earlier in the week. The Comets scored one run in the first five innings to take a 5-3 lead. But the Spartans responded with eight runs in the bottom half of the 5th. To take an 11-5 lead and never looked back. The leading hitters for the Spartans were Michael Bostwick 2x4 and Gage Delcore 2x3. Also collecting a hit was Ryland Day, with three walks: Drew Bandow, Max Thayse, and Landon Derenne. Derenne started on the mound, and Bandow came in the 6th to get the win for the Spartans.

 

The Spartans will welcome Green Bay Preble and the area's local youth baseball teams to the sports complex on Friday for a 4:30 p.m. first pitch.
