SPASH baseball gets conference win over Merrill

SPASH Panthers baseball took on Merrill at home in a battle of two Wisconsin Valley Conference teams on April 15.

Cooper Wendorf got Merrill on the board first in the opening inning, as an RBI single brought in a runner.

Willie Washington drove in a runner after an error by Merrill to tie the game at 1-1 in the second inning.

The Panthers took the lead as Koy Karaliunas drove in a run on a single with bases loaded in the third inning to take a 2-1 lead.

Washington helped get another run on the board for SPASH as he sent a sacrifice fly to center field to bring another run across to make the score 3-1.

The 3-1 score would hold the rest of the game as Merrill could not find enough offense at the plate to muster another run.
