An eight-run second inning proved to be all the Luxemburg-Casco softball team would need against their country rivals on Thursday, beating Kewaunee 11-1 in six innings.

The Spartans registered four hits and used two Kewaunee errors to spark their eight-run rally. Maggie DeBaker's two-run single was the inning's biggest blow for the Spartans. The Spartans added one more before the Storm found their way to home plate in the fifth inning on a single by Breanna Riha that scored Mariah Schlies. DeBaker's second two-RBI single of the afternoon ended the game with two outs in the sixth inning.

The Spartans also received multi-hit performances from Erin Cherovsky and Rylan Kaminski, who had three hits in the game to go along with her RBI. Kate Van Ess and Baylee Wypisinski split the duties, with the latter earning the win by allowing no runs on two hits while striking out a pair. The Spartans return to action on Friday with a doubleheader against Waupaca.

The Storm registered six hits in the game by six different players, led by Riha who went 1-3 with an RBI.
