The result was nothing new for the Spartans, who have now won eight games by six runs or more so far this season.

Makayla Culver made a splash while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over four innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits. That's the most strikeouts she has posted since back in April. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 1-for-2 with four RBI, one triple, and one stolen base.

Those three stolen bases gave Grosser a new career-high. Jenna Lycos was another key player, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with three RBI, two runs, and one stolen base.

Webberville was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .400. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .316 or higher in three consecutive contests.

Webberville will head out to challenge Morrice at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. The Orioles have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 14.41 runs per game on average), something the Spartans will no doubt try to take advantage of. Leslie does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
