Sparta had lost four games straight , but after bumping their record up to 2-4 on Tuesday that streak is in the rearview. They had just enough and edged out the Allendale Falcons 2-1. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Spartans also won the last time the pair played back in May of 2017.
Taliya Dauser spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on two hits and racked up 13 Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Sparta's win was truly a team effort as five different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Alaysia Hammock, who went 1-for-4 with one stolen base and one run. Layla Vallone also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.
As for Allendale, they dropped their record down to 4-3 with the loss, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season. Having soared to a lofty 15 runs in the game before, they couldn't push the score so high this time.
On Allendale's side, they also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and she was also dialed-in: Bailey Scholma gave up two runs (both of which were unearned) on eight hits.
Sparta will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Falcons: the pair will be back at it again later today.
