Softball Game Preview: Wyoming Valley West Spartans vs. Wyoming Area Warriors

The Wyoming Valley West Spartans will venture away from home to challenge the Wyoming Area Warriors at 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday.

Wyoming Valley West can't be to happy about their upcoming road game considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home last Friday. They came up short against Northwest Area, falling 8-1. The Spartans have struggled against the Rangers recently, as the game was their third consecutive lost meeting.

Brooke Long made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-3 with one home run and one double.

Meanwhile, while Wyoming Area put up plenty of runs on Saturday, the same can't be said for Dunmore. Wyoming Area put the hurt on Dunmore with a sharp 13-0 victory. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Warriors.

Alexa Gasek made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out nine over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one walk any time she's pitched this season. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one home run, five RBI, and two runs. Those five RBI gave her a new career-high.

In other batting news, Allison Layland was incredible, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-2. The dominant performance also gave her a new career-high in doubles (two). Aubrey Lewis was another key player, scoring two runs while going 1-for-3.
