Baseball Recap: Loyd Star Takes a Loss

After flying high against St. Andrew's Episcopal last Thursday, Loyd Star came back down to earth. Loyd Star took an 8-5 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Bogue Chitto Bobcats on Tuesday. The Hornets were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Bobcats apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in March of 2024.

Carson Cunningham was cooking despite his team's loss, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-3. He is becoming a predictor of Loyd Star's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 4-1 (and 3-6 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Casen Easterling, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases and one RBI.

Loyd Star has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-7 record this season. Bogue Chitto's victory ended a six-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 4-7.

While Loyd Star had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
