Sharing the day with most Major League Baseball teams, the Luxemburg-Casco softball team will open their 2024 campaign at home when they welcome New Holstein to the complex.
Monday's rains canceled the Spartans' original opener against Fox Valley Lutheran. The Spartans are coming off a 20-3 season that ended abruptly against NEC rival Marinette in the regional final with a 5-2 loss. While they did lose NEC Player of the Year Kylie Hanson to graduation, the Spartans do return plenty of experience, with All-NEC performers Josie Dorner, Payton Kaminski, Grace Kahr, Jillian Jorgensen, and Anna Vandermouse potentially returning for their senior season.
The Huskies went 25-3 last season just a couple of games short of the state tournament when they lost to state participant Mishicot 3-0 in the sectional round. They return three of their eight All-Eastern Wisconsin Conference team members from a season ago.
First pitch is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. at the Luxemburg-Casco Sports Complex.
