Friday night the softball team played well against Ft. Lupton High School winning 3-2. It was a close game until Junior Angeline Almagure hit the winning RBI. Aryn Grywusiewicz continued her great pitching, throwing five strike outs. “We worked together as a team,” said Morgan Bertram.
On Saturday, the softball team played a double header against La Junta High School at Otero Junior College softball field. The softball team had ten minutes between the games. The Spartans didn’t seem to have it for either game, losing their first game 3-1, with Grywusiewicz scoring the only run, and the second game 4-1, with Morgan Bertram scoring the only run. The softball team committed too many routine and costly mistakes. In the second game played, the Spartans were leading 1-0 until the sixth inning, but just couldn’t hold on. “These two games were huge, and losing them both the way we did was the most upsetting part of the season yet. So now all we can do is win league and hope our standing in regional are what we need,” said Grywusiewicz.
Now that the non-conference games are done with, the Spartans are looking to win their fourth consecutive league championship. They play their second league game against the North Vikings at North High School at 4:15 on Tuesday, September 22.
