The South Adams Starfires picked up their fourth and fifth victories of the season Saturday in a doubleheader sweep at Whitko.
Game One
South Adams put six spots on the board in both the sixth and the seventh inning to turn a 5-4 deficit into a blowout win in the opening game as Kyle Minger scored four times and Jax Wanner threw a complete game.
Wanner struck out eight and allowed just four hits while walking four to earn the victory.
Minger reached base all four times with a double, a single and two walks at the bottom of the batting order.
Game Two
Kade Sprunger worked into the sixth inning and took advantage of a six-run Starfire rally in the second inning to lead the South Adams Starfires to a 9-8 victory Saturday at Whitko.
Sprunger struck out two, but walked just one batter and allowed only five hits through 5.2 innings of work, earning the victory.
The Starfires themselves had just three hits and their six-run rally came off just one hit. Jax Wanner hit a two-run single with two outs in the second to put the Stars up 6-0.
Derek Weaver doubled and scored for the Stars and Zeke Baumer drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the third and scored after singling in that second inning.
Jax Wanner got the save, pitching a hitless seventh inning for the Starfires, who are now 5-16.
