Baseball Game Preview: Nordhoff Rangers vs. Grace Lancers

Nordhoff is 1-7 against Grace since May of 2015 but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Thursday. The Nordhoff Rangers are taking a road trip to square off against the Grace Lancers at 3:00 p.m.

Nordhoff can't be to happy about their upcoming road match considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Tuesday. They fell just short of Santa Clarita Christian by a score of 4-3. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it four in a row.

Nordhoff saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Andres Perez, who scored two runs while going 1-for-2. That's the most runs Perez has posted since back in February of 2024.

Meanwhile, Grace's season-opener on Tuesday wasn't quite what the team was looking for considering the end result. They and Oak Park finished up on equal footing with a 3-3 tie.

Nordhoff suffered a grim 7-1 defeat to Grace in their previous matchup back in May of 2018. Can Nordhoff avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
