Sumner High School’s fastpitch softball team managed to bookend a 3-2 win against Fife High School Monday.

The Spartans scored one run in the first inning, but tensions mounted when Fife took two runs in the fourth while Sumner remained runless. The status quo mercifully shifted in the bottom of the seventh and final inning when the Sumner home team scored two runs, bringing them ahead of the visiting Trojans by one.

“Cassidy Sargent hit a beautiful line drive up the middle to tie the game 2-2,” coach Kristin Crawley said. “With two outs and the winning run on third base… Amanda Haines hit a slammer to the far center field fence to give the Sparts the lead and win against the Trojans.”

The Spartans play the Franklin Pierce Cardinals tomorrow afternoon.
