Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Conneaut). They put the hurt on the McKinley Red Dragons with a sharp 18-2 win on Tuesday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Spartans with their most commanding win of the season.
Lexi Brown made a splash no matter where she played.

She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with three runs and one RBI. That's the most runs she has posted since back in April.
