Even inning scoring outbreaks led Luxemburg Casco past St. Mary Catholic by a score of 10-0, as the Spartans mercy ruled the Zephyrs after 6 innings, as heard on 104.1 WRLU.  

 

Luxemburg Casco’s lead off man, Eli Derrene started the game with a single and made it to third with a pair of stolen bases, but was left stranded to end the frame. After starting pitcher Noah Chervenka worked around a pair baserunners to keep the game tied at 0-0 through 1 inning.  Luxemburg Casco notched a pair of runs in the 2nd, after Gage Delcore led the inning off with an infield single, followed by a ground rule double by Caleb Radart, setting the stage for Jacob Coisman. Coisman hit a sacrifice fly to left field, scoring Delcore.  Radart came around to score on a Reagan Doell RBI single. Chervenka got out of a bases loaded jam in the 3rd, for the Spartans to tack on 2 more runs in the 4th in similar fashion, Coisman knocking in a run on a sacrifice fly and Doell driving in a run, this time with a safety squeeze sacrifice bunt.  

 

After allowing a runner into scoring position in the 5th, before ultimately closing the door on a St Mary’s rally, the Spartans came up to bat in the 6th, looking to score again.  Ethan Werner reached on an error, followed by a Delcore base hit.  Delcore stole 2nd to give the Spartans runners on 2nd and 3rd with no one out.  After Radart and Coisman were retired, the trend of LC scoring in even innings appeared to be in danger, until a wild pitch allowed Werner to score, and Doell drove in another run with a single to right field.  Carson Blohowiak worked a walk bringing Eli Derrene to the plate.  Derenne, facing a new pitcher chopped a ground ball up the first base line and off the bag, leading to a miscommunication between the  Zephyrs.  With no one paying attention, Doell came around to score all the way from 2nd.  Gavin Lax drove in Blohowiak with a line drive single, followed by a Landon Derrene triple to clear the bases.  All in all, it was a 6 run 6th inning that saw 10 Spartans come to the plate.  

 

With the opportunity to finish the game in the 6th, Luxemburg Casco turned to Eli Derenne to finish the game, allowing a baserunner on a walk, but sealing the win on a fantastic catch by Blohowiak at 2nd base. 

 

 

 

The win moved Luxemburg Casco to an 11-4 record on the season. Next up for the Spartans, they’ll resume North Eastern Conference action, when they travel to Freedom on Tuesday, May 13th.
