GREENWOOD – The Spencer softball team won its Cloverbelt Conference East Division opener, blowing past Greenwood 12-2 on Tuesday.
Tiffany Meinders earned the win on the mound, striking out eight and scattering six hits. She also had a single, a double, and four RBIs at the plate.
Sadie Mercier had three hits and two RBIs, Cinnamin Harwood had two hits and three RBIs, and Katie Fleischman had a pair of RBIs as well for the Rockets. Fleischman also threw out a Greenwood runner at home plate from the outfield to end the game.
“We kept the bats going tonight,” Spencer coach Jason Gorst said. “I really liked the way our girls were seeing the ball at the plate. Striking out just four times against that quality of a pitcher is pretty good. Katie Fleischman is really locked in right now. I really appreciate her approach to the game.”
Spencer plays at Colby on Friday.
