The Sages allowed a run in the fourth inning but got it back plus three more in a four-run fourth inning as Monticello took a 4-1 lead.

The Spartans rallied for a five-run sixth inning for a 6-4 lead and the Sages could only muster a single run in the last of the sixth and fell for the fourth straight game.
