Week #2 of District play found the Spartans matched up against a talented Cy Creek squad. Needing to bounce back, the boys rode strong pitching and timely hitting to back-to-back victories over the Cougars and improve their record to 2-2 (13-6 overall).

Highlights:

Spartans 5 - Cougars 0

On the road to begin the series, Paxton Terveen was dominant on the mound, pitching a complete game two-hit shutout and striking out twelve Cougars along the way. A five-hit performance provided the offense for the visitors, led by Terveen, who contributed his fourth homerun on the season. John White, Brecken Menuet, Braxton Wakefield, and Luke Barre also contributed a hit apiece to round out the attack. Everyone contributed to a sound defensive performance as the Spartans recorded their first District win of the season.

Spartans 3 - Cougars 1

The Spartans warmed up with Grant Kendall (Rummel Creek Elementary) before he threw out the first pitch against Cy Creek.

Excited to get a winning streak started, the Spartans returned to The Backyard on Friday. Thomas Cloud made his second start of the season one to remember, earning the W with a six-inning outing, giving up a single run while striking out seven Cougars. Barre cleaned up with a scoreless outing in relief to earn the save. The offense did enough to secure the victory. Leading the way with a two-hit game were Terveen and Wakefield. White, Caden Baker, and Alex Skoutelakis each contributed a hit apiece. The hard-fought victories brought the Spartans to 2-2 in the young District campaign.

Next up: Varsity plays the Northbrook Raiders at The Backyard on Tuesday (3/28), and then they are at Northbrook on Friday (3/31).
