Eastbrook had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They walked away with a 6-1 win over the Jay County Patriots on Friday. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Panthers also won the last time the pair played back in April of 2024.

Austin Mikel made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Mikel was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing a base.

Mikel wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Kyler Hackman, who scored a run while going 2-for-3. Malakai Luthy was another, scoring two runs and stealing three bases.

Looking ahead, Eastbrook will head out on the road to square off against North Miami at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Jay County, they will take on Elwood at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday.
