SHAWANO – The Fox Valley Lutheran baseball team completed a two-game sweep of Shawano with a 5-1 win on Thursday at Memorial Park.

Two days after beating Shawano 9-1 at home on Tuesday, the Foxes again held down the Hawks, limiting them to three hits to improve to 2-0 overall and in the Bay Conference.

Jordan Sanders gave up one unearned run in five innings of work, and Luke Heimerl tossed two shutout innings of relief to finish off the win for FVL.
