The Mars Fightin Planets will hit the road for the first time this season to square off against the Deer Lakes Lancers at 4:00 p.m. on Monday.
Mars is leaving town to face Deer Lakes after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. The Fightin Planets came up short against Ellwood City on Tuesday, falling 8-2. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it seven in a row.
Mars saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Alyssa Foltz, who went 1-for-2 with one double and one RBI.
Meanwhile, Deer Lakes put another one in the bag on Friday to keep their perfect season alive. They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 5-4 W against Derry. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Lancers have posted since April 17, 2025.
Ella Thomas spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and three unearned) runs on five hits and racked up 12 Ks.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Laney Dineff, who went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Siena Plummer, who went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and two runs.
