Shenandoah couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They fell just short of the Adams Central Flying Jets by a score of 6-4 on Monday. The defeat was just more heartbreak for Shenandoah, who fell 5-3 when the teams last met back in April of 2022.

Lydia Schwagmeier made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and scored a run while going 2-for-2. The team also got some help courtesy of Lilliana Lynch, who scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in two of her three plate appearances.

On Adams Central's side, Lilli Jackson spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned runs on six hits.

At the plate, Adams Central's victory was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Audrey Eisberg, who scored a run while going 1-for-2. Another player making a difference was Jozie Zimmerman, who scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in two of her four plate appearances.
