Vernon unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They fell just short of the Jefferson Township Falcons by a score of 5-3 on Monday. The Vikings were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Falcons apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in April of 2024.
Vernon saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Dustin Wagner, who scored a run while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. Matthew Baumann was another, scoring a run while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
While Vernon had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
