In game on the Lady Spartans hit the ball well but their fielding, which had been so solid in the Friday doubleheader sweep, was not as sharp. RCTC is a good team and was able to take advantage of those mistakes for a 17-7 win. RCTC scored three in the first, but the Lady Spartans answered back with two of their own for a 3-2 RCTC lead. RCTC added two in the third and six in the fourth for an 11-2 lead. The Lady Spartans found some life in their bats and put three on the board in the bottom of the fourth. With two outs, Carly Fuentes clutched up with a two run double and Mackenzie Foss followed that with an RBI single to make the score 11-5. RCTC added one in the top of the sixth for a 12-5 lead, but the Lady Spartans once again put together a string of good at bats to battle back. Maddy Shjerve had a great at bat and finished it with a single. She would score on a Hannah Scherr double. Fuentes doubled to score Scherr. Foss singled up the middle, but Fuentes was thrown out at the plate trying to score and the inning ended 12-7. The Lady Spartans made a couple of fielding errors in the top of the seventh and RCTC scored five runs for a 17-7 lead. The Lady Spartans went down in order in the bottom of the seventh and RCTC had a 17-7 win.
The Lady Spartans were overmatched at the plate in game two, as RCTC cruised to a very efficient 8-0 five inning victory.
The Lady Spartans have a very busy two week stretch ahead of them and hope to have their next home game Wednesday, April 27 against Minnesota West Community and Technical College. Game time is 3:00.
