The Spartans were on the road on Friday to take on Grand. The Red Devils were ready to play and immediately went on top 2-0.
That score remained until the bottom of the fifth when Grand struck for four more runs to go up 6-0. On the other side, Emery could not get anything going and would eventually fall 7-1. The Spartans were held to just four hits and two walks.
At the plate, Brooklynn Ekker went 2-3 while Cambrie Jensen went 1-3 with a double and Jalynn Fox went 1-2 with a walk. Maddy Childs did not have her best stuff in the circle as she gave up six runs on 11 hits through five innings.
The loss snaps Emery’s four-game win streak, but the Spartans will have one final game to regroup. On Monday, Emery (15-7, 5-3) will travel to South Sevier (10-10) to wrap up the season.
