Game three vs. Triton College was actually the conclusion of a game that started on Sunday afternoon and was delayed due to rain. With the score knotted at 1-1, the two teams battled into the 8th inning, where Triton's Keli Conway drew a bases loaded walk to seal the extra-inning victory.
Zach Sheranko was for 1 for 4 with an RBI and Dylan Tamecki went 2 for 4 with a double to pace the Spartans. Sean Williams (0-1) took the loss, throwing 3 1/3 innings, allowing 1 run, 1 hit, while striking out 3 and walking 5. Mike Anthony was the starter on Sunday, going 4 innings, allowing 1 run, 1 hit and striking out 3.
The loss was the first of the trip for the Spartans, who fall to 4-1 overall.
