Johnstown-Monroe took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Wednesday. They put the hurt on the Reynoldsburg Raiders with a sharp 16-2 win. The victory was some much needed relief for the Johnnies as it spelled an end to their five-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Riley Stefanick and Ella Peterman made a big impact no matter where they played. Throwing, Stefanick pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits.
