A six-run first inning provided all the offense the Luxemburg-Casco baseball team would need in an 8-1 victory over St. Mary Catholic in Neenah on Thursday.

The Spartans opened the game with three straight singles, including a run-scoring hit by Hudson Billings. Two errors allowed two more Spartans to reach base before singles from Myles Jandrain and Tatum Klaubauf and a fielder's choice by Bryce Piesler helped the team pile on the Zephyrs. After the Zephyrs scratched across a run in the fourth inning, the Spartans added two more runs in the seventh.

Jandrain went 2-4 with two RBI while Ethan Werner also boasted a two-hit evening. Klaubauf (2), Piesler, Jacob Coisman, Billings, and Noah Chervenka also collected RBI in the Spartans victory that was aided by five Zephyrs errors. Chervenka and Ethan Engum kept the Zephyrs in check on the mound, combining to strike out 10 batters while allowing just one run on two hits.
