Springfield Spartans baseball 2024

COME OUT AND CELEBRATE #5!!!

🎓⚾ Senior Night Spotlight ⚾🎓
Join us TONIGHT under the lights at Jedd Park as we celebrate our lone senior, David Thurston, and all he’s given to Springfield Baseball!

First pitch at 7:00 PM – come out and show your support 💪❤️🖤

We still have 4 open teams available

Don't forget to get out there and vote for our Students, Our Athletes, Our Band Members, Our Artists and Our SPARTANS!!! VOTE YES ON ISSUES 16 and 17!!

Don't forget that Baseball has Bingo coverage tomorrow. We could still use a couple of parents to help from 4:45-9pm at Spring Hill. Please consider helping. It's very important.

Also players have setup and breakdown before and after Bingo.

We need some parents to step up and help volunteer for Bingo on Monday May 5th. We already had one day covered by parents and now we need another group to help. Without more volunteers, it falls on those that will go to do a lot more work and the Boosters to have to pull double duty. Please reach out to Miranda Terry if you can help Monday, May 5th.

As the Ravens come to town for a double header at Jedd, the Spartans look to keep their wins coming after taking Woodridge down over the weekend. Next up, we get to know Sophomore Rylan Slusser:
