Cocalico hadn't beaten Garden Spot on the road since April 12, 2023 but that history sure didn't bother them on Monday. The Eagles sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 9-7 victory over the Spartans.
The team relied heavily on Logan Horning, who went 2-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and one double. That double marked the first that he has hit this season.
