The Cape Coral Seahawks are taking a road trip to take on the Lehigh Lightning at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Lehigh took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on Cape Coral, who comes in off a win.
While Seahawks fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Tuesday's season opener. They were the clear victor by a 21-1 margin over East Lee County on Tuesday. The Seahawks have beaten the Jaguars the last six times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Jaguars has come to flipping the script.
Jonny Rabeiro looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run and only a hit while striking out nine over four innings pitched.
On the hitting side, Derek Hooker was incredible, going 3-for-5 with four runs, three RBI, and one triple. The team also got some help courtesy of Collin Thess, who scored two runs while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances.
Cape Coral always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .569. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as East Lee County only posted an OBP of .227.
Meanwhile, Lehigh fell victim to Sarasota and their airtight pitching crew on Wednesday. They came up short against the Sailors, falling 15-0. The Lightning's loss continues a trend for the team, making it five in a row dating back to last season.
Cape Coral beat Lehigh 10-6 when the teams last played back in April of 2024. Will Cape Coral repeat their success, or does Lehigh have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
