Paola couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They suffered a rough 12-1 defeat at the hands of the Wellsville Eagles on Tuesday.
For Wellsville's part, Grace Brunmeier made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out nine batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits (and only one walk). Brunmeier was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-4.
In other batting news, Taylar Spring was incredible, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 2-for-3. Kaylee Wood was another key contributor, scoring three runs while going 1-for-3.
While Paola 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.
