Brimley had to start their season on the road in Monday's first game, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They took a 7-2 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Harbor Light Christian Swordsmen. The result was an unpleasant reminder to Brimley of the 6-1 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in May of 2021.
For Harbor Light Christian's part, Derk Boerman made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out ten batters over six innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits. Boerman was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run and stealing three bases while going 1-for-2.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Joe Ruthig, who scored two runs and stole four bases while going 2-for-3. Will Paulus was another key contributor, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-2.
While Brimley had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
