The Lady Spartans couldn’t erase a five-run deficit in a loss to Grand High School on Friday.
Emery fought back after falling down by five runs in the third inning. The comeback fell just short, though, in the 12-11 defeat against the Red Devils. Emery managed nine runs in the failed comeback.
Cambrie Jensen, Madisyn Alton, Ambree Bennett and Taleigh Price fueled the rally with RBIs. Both teams exchanged the advantage back-and-forth in the game, but Grand eventually took the lead for good after a home run in the seventh inning.
Emery had 13 hits on the day. Price, Raegan Rassmussen, Alton and Adrianne Childs all managed multiple hits for the Lady Spartans. Price went 3-4 at the plate to lead Emery in hits.
Up next, Emery (7-3, 3-2 Region 15) will travel to Blanding (3-9, 0-5 Region 15) on Tuesday to take on San Juan.
