Softball Game Preview: Algonac Muskrats vs. Utica Ford Falcons

The Algonac Muskrats will hit the road for the first time this season to square off against the Utica Ford Falcons at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

Algonac is leaving town to face Utica Ford after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. The Muskrats came up short against Dakota on Tuesday, falling 9-2.

Kayla Raines made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 1-for-3 with two RBI and one double.

The home team had won the previous three meetings between Utica Ford and Romeo, and Romeo kept the tradition alive. The Falcons fell 7-4 to the Bulldogs on Thursday.

Algonac came out on top in a nail-biter against Utica Ford in their previous meeting back in April of 2024, sneaking past 4-2. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Muskrats since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
