The Spartan Softball Girls commenced their season on Wednesday at Aurora Central High School, defeating the Trojans 11-1. Junior Rebecca Randall triumphed in the game, hitting a home-run, along with a few triples.
Softball Coach Kyler Jackson sees this opening accomplishment as a good precursor to the upcoming season. “The girls fought back from a tough opening game to beat a much improved Central,” said Jackson.
Senior and Pitcher Lauren Jorgensen also felt like the game was an excellent starter to the season, mainly due to teamwork and consistency. “It was a pretty good game; the top of our lineup was really hitting well, which helped us out a lot,” said Jorgensen. “And when the other team was hitting, our team handled all the plays really well.”
Not only did the Spartans succeed as a team, but they also excelled individually in their performances. “We had a freshman, Allyson Grywusiewicz, pitch during the 4th inning,” said Jorgensen. “And Becca Randall hit a home run, and a few triples. So I’d say both of those were pretty eventful things.”
TJ Softball is also receiving financial support from the Colorado Rockies Charity Fund, in hopes to expand the program, giving the lady Spartans even more reason to celebrate.
Both Jackson and Jorgensen are looking forward to their next game, where the Spartans will go head to head against the Demons. The game will be taking place next Tuesday at Golden High School at 4:00pm.
