The Exira-EHK Spartans softball team picked up a 3-1 win over Woodbine on Monday night and locked up the Rolling Valley Conference Championship. Macy Emgarten dazzled in the circle with 19 strikeouts, no walks, and just two hits and 1 run allowed. Emgarten said a lot was working in her favor.

The Spartans moved their RVC record 14-0 and grab the conference title. Spartans Head Coach Andrea Schwery loved the effort.

The Spartans used some timely bunched hitting early to get their three runs. Woodbine got a run on an outfielding error in the first but the Spartans quickly responded to tie in the bottom half of the inning. Shay Burmeister got aboard with a two out single and Mollie Rasmussen drove her in with a double as the next batter. Coach Schwery liked the resiliency.

The Spartans got RBI hits from Gemini Goodwin and Alisa Partridge in the 2nd to push the lead to 3-1 and that’s where it would stay.

The Spartans improved to 18-2 overall and the Tigers fall to 15-4. Exira-EHK will be back in action on Wednesday.at home against Glidden-Ralston.
