SPRING VALLEY, WI – The baseball regular season ended one day, and the post-season began two days later for the Spring Valley baseball team. The Cardinals won their first-round game here against Immanuel Lutheran for the opportunity to continue on this past Tuesday (weather permitting) at #2 seed Loyal.
The Cardinals lost to Division II fourth ranked Elk Mound to wrap up the regular season with a 6-7 conference mark, 9-9 overall record.
Elk Mound 7, Spring Valley 2 – The Cardinals threw seven pitchers over seven innings in the final regular season game, but it did little to stop the fourth-ranked team in the state. Elk Mound plated three runs in the top of the first inning, two more in the second and two more in the sixth inning for the win. Valley scored a run in the bottom of the first inning when senior Cade Stasiek led off with a single, stole second base, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on a sacrifice ground-out by senior Caleb Bartko.
