GRUNDY CENTER – Spartan softball started the scoring early in an 11-1 win against Gladbrook-Reinbeck on Wednesday at the George Wilhelm Sports Complex.

Sydney Mathews had a hit and scored twice and Maddie McMartin added an RBI but having players like them back in the lineup was more about getting everyone in the right space defensively.
