With high hopes, the TJ baseball team took the field on Saturday, March 19, but sadly lost to a strong competitor, the Cherry Creek Bruins.

The Spartans started the game out with Senior Kyle Freeland on the mound, who pitched a solid game only walking two, and giving up three earned runs. But Freeland’s pitching was not enough to stop the Bruins. “We had a lot of mistakes; we didn’t play our game and you can’t do that against Creek or else you’re in for a rude awakening,” said Senior Austin Hearne. Freeland exited in the 5th inning, giving way to Freshman Reliever Samuel Reed, who finished off the game.

The Spartans struggled defensively, committing four errors, and could only muster six hits offensively. The game ended at the bottom of the fifth inning, with the final score of 13-3.

The Spartans hope to rebound against the South Gargoyles this Tuesday, March 22, at the Spartan field at 4 p.m.
