    Two weeks ago the girls' softball team had a record of 1-5 and were outscored 18-53 in those six games. Fast-forward to Tuesday afternoon, and the girls were sitting at 6-7 with a four game winning streak on the line and the West Cowboys standing in the way of five in a row.     

    The girls' softball team was victorious, but it was their presence and demeanor that was the most impressive part of the game for the Spartans. Whether in the field, at the plate, or on the pitching mound the girls had an overwhelming aura of greatness about them and showed it in a dominating performance. The Spartans took an early 2-0 lead when Lauren Kelsch scored off an Amanda Weaver double. Weaver would score off of a base hit by Senior Lucy Bell, and the West Cowboys would eventually get out of the inning shortly after. Aryn Grywusiewicz picked up right where she left off in her last game, striking out eight and giving up only one hit all game.

      With the pitching and defense not an issue for the Spartans, all they had to do was hit the ball; and with 13 hits in the whole game (including two home runs, two doubles, and three triples), the team was able to do just that. Kelsch and standout Sophomore Morgan Bertram each hit an inside the park home run, and Grywusiewicz was able to help herself going 3 for 4 with a triple, driving in four runs. Obviously, with a five game winning streak, the Lady Spartans have hit their stride, rising up from the abysmal start to an impressive 7-7 record. The team is showing the right stuff to become a contender in the Denver Prep League, and with five games left in the season they could not have started at a better time.
