Ludlow is leaving town to face Palmer after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Ludlow fell just short of Frontier Regional by a score of 7-5 on April 8th. The loss means Ludlow is still on the hunt for the season's first 'W'.
Meanwhile, sadly, Palmer is still looking for their first win of the season after seven matches. They fell 8-5 to Lenox Memorial on Wednesday. That's two games in a row now that Palmer has lost by exactly three runs.
Matthew Santos made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and scored two runs and stole three bases while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. Sebastian Mayberry was another key contributor, scoring a run while going 1-for-4.
Ludlow suffered a grim 13-3 defeat to Palmer in their previous matchup back in April of 2023. Thankfully for Ludlow, Ty Miller (who struck out ten batters over six innings while giving up three earned runs off eight hits (and not a single walk)) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
