Lowell won the last time they faced Sparta and things went their way on Wednesday too. The Red Arrows put the hurt on the Spartans with a sharp 7-1 victory. Considering the Red Arrows have won ten matches by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Ty Wasilenski tossed a big game, striking out eight batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Blake Sitzer, who went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI, and one run. That's the most doubles he has posted since back in March. Nathen Raison was another key player, going 1-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base.

Lowell has been performing well recently as they've won six of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-7-1 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.6 runs on average over those games. As for Sparta, their loss ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 16-8.

Lowell and Sparta should be looking forward to their upcoming games as both have a sizable advantage in the MaxPreps Michigan Rankings. The Red Arrows will face off against Wayland at 4:00 p.m. on Friday with a big rank advantage (57 vs. 239). Meanwhile, Sparta (ranked 72nd) will meet Calvin Christian (ranked 408th) at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday.
