The Lady Spartan softball team has been on a tear lately wining their last two games by a score of 30-11. Thursday they traveled to Monroe to take on the South Sevier Rams and they kept that momentum going taking the contest 13-1.
The Spartans quickly jumped out to a five nothing lead after the first inning and held the Rams scoreless until the bottom of the fifth, and then only allowing one run. The bats came alive for Emery which caused South Sevier to empty their bullpen using four pitchers in the game.
Kaejha Johnson went two-for-two with two runs, two hits including a home run and five RBI’s. Taleigh Price went two-for-three, she also had two runs on two hits with one home run while collecting four RBI’s.
Taking the mound for the Spartans was Kaylee Price who gets the complete game giving up just one earned run while allowing four hits and striking out seven. The Rams had no answers for Price as out of the 90 pitches she threw, 57 were for strikes.
The Spartans sit at 3-1 headed into the 14 day moratorium imposed by the Utah High School Activities Association that will begin on Monday March 16.
