Friends Academy had to start their season on the road on Thursday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They fell just short of the Carle Place Frogs by a score of 7-6. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it seven in a row.
Friends Academy saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Marco Smith, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-2. Damian Balkcom was another, scoring two runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
Looking ahead, Carle Place will take on New Hyde Park Memorial at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Friends Academy will be paying especially close attention to the Frogs' contest: after the Frogs faces off against Bayside, they'll take on Friends Academy again at 5:00 p.m. on the 28th.
