Blue Ridge had to hit the road for their first game and sadly it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They fell victim to a tough 15-1 loss at the hands of Mid Valley on Wednesday. The defeat unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Blue Ridge in their matchups with Mid Valley: they've now lost six in a row.
Meanwhile, Elk Lake came up short against Tunkhannock on Thursday and fell 6-1. Elk Lake has now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Blue Ridge came out on top in a nail-biter against Elk Lake in their previous matchup back in April of 2023, sneaking past 4-3. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Elk Lake's Elias Owens, who struck out ten batters over five innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits (and only one walk). Now that he won't be playing on Monday, will it be that much easier for Blue Ridge to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
