By Dan Zobel Sparta stays alive in 5th Division after Teutopolis forfeit Highland downs Sparta By Dan Zobel Highland took advantage of some wildness on the part of Sparta pitcher Landen Korando July 18, and all of the batters in the team’s lineup re- corded at least one hit, helping them defeat Sparta, 10-0, in a game that ended after seven innings due to the run-rule. The loss sent Sparta to the loser’s bracket of the 5th Division Tournament to square off with Teutopolis in the double-elimination tournament hosted by Orient in West Frankfort. Highland, meanwhile, advanced to play Her- rin in round two. “We couldn’t ask for anything better coming in to today,” said Highland coach Harry Painter. “It’s tough to win this tournament when you have to play five games. With only 14 guys, you don’t have enough pitchers to do it. So, to go to a seven- inning game and save two innings is extraordi- nary.” Highland loaded the bases with nobody out in the bottom of the first inning with a single and two walks against Korando. A line drive by Jordan Smith to right field turned into a fielder’s choice, when Anthony Mixon forced out the runner going to second, but two runners scampered home on the play. In the bottom of the second, back-to-back singles to open the frame and a pair of outfield errors pushed the lead to 3-0. Then, Korando walked another batter before an infield single loaded the bases. After Korando recorded a strikeout, Will Greenwald brought home a run on a fielder’s choice, and Austin Goswell singled down the Sparta’s Matt Reuss rests for a second after sliding into third base for a triple against Teutopolis. right field line to make it 5-0.
