That winning streak came to an end as the No. 9 Spartans recorded their third win of the season over the Tigers – 10-1. SH (12-6, 5-3) needed a strong start to hang with the high-powered GC offense. However, of the five runs scored in the opening frame by the visitors, just two came off hits. Tiger starting pitcher Preston Dolash hit the first batter.

Like so many other games this season, the Tigers (2-16, 0-8) left runners stranded throughout the contest, five in total.
