North Adams-Jerome then got a 16-2 second game victory. Pelhem faced seven batters on the mound for the Rams. He got seven strikeouts and gave up one hit. Thayden Welch came in to relieve, striking out five batters and giving up one hit and two earned runs.
Troy Shamplo scored a run and had one RBI for the Spartans. Boyd had one hit. Maverick Stucky had one hit. Bo Leininger had one run. Shamplo had two stolen bases and Stucky had one. Alec Shamplo pitched through all four innings, striking out four batters and giving up 16 runs. There was a scoring discrepancy between the recorded scores from both teams. The Spartans had the final as 17-2.
The Rams' box score gave Paradine three hits in four at-bats with one RBI and two runs. One of those hits was an inside the park home run in the top of the second. Welch scored three runs. Hale had two hits, two RBI and one run. Arsenault had two hits, two RBI and one run. Jacob Smith had one hit, one RBI and one run. Brink had three hits, one RBI and three runs.

Stolen base counts gave Brink three and McKay two. Paradine, Hale and Pelham each recorded a stolen base.
The Rams have scored 40 runs in their past three games. Their sweep of the Spartans should give them confidence going into their biggest challenge yet of the young season. The Rams will face off with Pittsford at home on Tuesday, Apri 18 in a doubleheader. The Wildcats are coming off a district championship last season and have found their groove after sweeping Athens in a doubleheader. The Wildcats have strong pitching, and it should be a good matchup for both fan bases.
