The Spartans, who are coming off a thrilling comeback victory over the No. 3 Shasta Wolves in a semifinal game on Tuesday, have split their two meetings with Paradise, no longer a league foe, this year. "Paradise is a lot like us," Howell said. "They pitch well, they play good defense and they have very timely hitting. You're talking about two really good teams." Red Bluff assistant coach Aubrie Thomas, who Howell said has been instrumental in aiding the team this far, said, "I think (the Spartans) are motivated, inspired. I think that game Tuesday ignited a little fire. They got a little taste in their mouth, and they want it." For live coverage of the game, follow @jtlarson on Twitter.
