The Concord Minutemen are headed away from home for the first time to challenge the Elkhart Lions at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many runs in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.
Concord is leaving town to face Elkhart after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. The Minutemen fell just short of Lakeland by a score of 2-1 on Tuesday. Surprisingly, this marked the fourth straight game that the away team has come away the victor.
Myles Jones was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out seven over six innings pitched.
On the hitting side, Concord saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Noah Norwood, who went 1-for-4 with one stolen base.
Meanwhile, Elkhart fought the good fight in their extra-innings matchup against Westview on Tuesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Warriors by a score of 2-1.
Concord took their victory against Elkhart when the teams last played back in April of 2024 by a conclusive 10-3 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Minutemen since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
