Spartans Get First Win of the Season

The Lady Spartans found their first win of the season in exciting fashion.  With Harford scoring the first two runs of the game the Spartans answered back with two runs themselves.  The 5 inning is where the Spartans broke away a little with five runs.  With a cushion of a lead the game was far from over when as Harford answered back with a late 7^th inning rally.  Weather made things a tad difficult as the umpires suspended the game and both teams picked up and moved over to a turf field.  After an hour delay the game was resumed in the 8^th inning.  Freshman outfielder Miranda McGloon (Waterloo, NY) hit in Kaitlyn Brewer (Auburn, NY).  With the Spartans leading going into the bottom of the 8th inning a solid defensive stand offered up their first win of the season by a score of 9-8.  McKenzie Harris (Liverpool, NY) pitched a complete game sitting down 8 batters.  The second game proved a bit more challenging as the Spartans were down 10-3 after the first 3 innings.  The Spartans rallied in the 4^th inning to put up 5 runs and cut the game to 2.  Fatigue started to set in and the Spartans ended up dropping the game in the 5^th inning 16-8.  Jamison Valentino (Union Springs, NY) went 5-8 with 3 runs, while Danielle Vuillemot (Auburn, NY) 3-8 with a 2 run triple.  The Lady Spartans head down to Pennsylvania this weekend for another 4 games.
