It was the Consolation Championship game for the ROCORI Spartans as they looked to
go out with a win. No matter what this game would be the last for the
tremendous seniors on the Spartan team and pitcher Josh Engquist would toe the
rubber for the Red and White. It was a rocky first inning for Josh as
he would allow three runs but the ROCORI Spartans would get one back in the
bottom of the 1st. In the second inning Hastings was able to build their lead as they would
scrape across another run against pitcher Josh Engquist. At the end of the
second it would be a 4-1 ball game in favor of the Hastings Raiders.

The 5th inning was similar to the 4th inning with pitching and defense. Both teams would
keep runners off the base paths and continued to keep the score tied at
4. While pitcher Josh Engquist was keeping the Raiders off the bases his
counterpart for Hasting couldn't do that in the bottom of the 6th.
The ROCORI Spartans would get two runs as first baseman Brad Olson had one of the biggest hits of
his career.
