Luxemburg-Casco High School

Spartans softball tames Huskies

The Luxemburg-Casco softball team won its second game in as many days on Friday, demolishing New Holstein 11-1 in five innings.

 

After allowing a run in the top of the first inning, the Spartans plated crooked numbers in each of the first three innings, including three in the first and third frames. In the first inning, they did so with just one hit as they scored on a pair of bases-loaded walks and a fielder's choice. In the second inning, two errors pushed two runs across for the Spartans. After a sacrifice fly drove in a run in the third, Kate Van Ess delivered the game's biggest blow up to that point, driving in two runs on a single. In the fifth inning, the Spartans forced the mercy rule by scoring on a fielders choice, a bases-loaded walk, and a game-ending RBI single off the bat of Kacie Jorgenson. 

 

Rylan Kaminski was a perfect 3-3 at the plate while Van Ess and Alayna DeDeprez each registered two RBI in the Spartans win. Van Ess finished the game in the circle, allowing one run on three hits while striking out five.
