The Lady Spartans will look to keep the streak alive Thursday at home when they host undefeated Akron Manchester at 5:30 p.m. Manchester enters the matchup with a 5-0 record.
Fans in attendance were treated to a defensive battle as Boardman’s Gabi Sferra and McDonald’s Aubrey Evans matched each other inning for inning in dominant performances inside the circle. Sferra was outstanding for the Spartans, allowing just one hit, walking two, and striking out 10 in her second straight complete-game shutout. Evans was equally impressive despite taking the loss, surrendering only three hits while striking out 15 Boardman batters.
The game’s only run came in the bottom of the third inning when Addie Rudge delivered a line-drive single to left field, scoring Rivera after she had reached on a two-out McDonald error.
Boardman’s other two hits came on a perfectly placed bunt single by Jocelynn Torres in the fourth inning and another base hit from Rudge in the first.
