Even if Spearville couldn't beat Bucklin on Friday, underclassman Austin Ruiz still had a big game. Ruiz turned in nothing short of a gem: he struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned run off two hits (and not a single walk).
Ruiz and Spearville will play host again on Thursday to welcome Southwestern Heights, where first pitch is scheduled at 4:00 p.m. Spearville is 8-0 against Southwestern Heights going back to April of 2018, a lead they'll look to extend.
