The Emery Spartan softball squad traveled to Spanish Fork Thursday to begin the second round of the 3A State Championship Tournament. After defeating Providence Hall last Saturday they moved on to face the Granstville Cowboys. The Cowboys jumped out early scoring nine runs in the first two innings and an Emery rally fell short in the sixth giving Grantsville a 10-7 victory.

The Spartans were quiet in the early innings not putting runs on the board until the fourth making score 9-2. The top of the sixth inning was the best chance for the Lady Spartans as they would put together one last burst getting the score to with in two runs 9-7, Emery came up in the top of the seventh but couldn’t get anything going and lost their first game of the playoffs, dropping them into the one loss bracket.

Immediately following the loss the Spartans changed fields and began a contest with the Delta Rabbits. Emery took on the Rabbits back in March and claimed the 11-0 win.  A loss ends the season and a win means they will play one more game today at 4:45.
