The Newton-Conover Red Devils will look to take advantage of their home field for the first time this season as they take on the St. Stephens Indians at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
Newton-Conover is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after starting their season on the road. They came up short against East Lincoln on Wednesday, falling 14-1. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it 15 in a row.
Meanwhile, St. Stephens came up short against Hibriten on Friday and fell 12-7. The Indians haven't had much luck with the Panthers recently, as the team has come up short the last three times they've met.
St. Stephens saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kolbie Harron, who went 3-for-4 with two runs. Another was Carter Barham, who went 1-for-3 with one run and one RBI.
Newton-Conover might still be hurting after the 11-3 defeat they got from St. Stephens in their previous matchup back in March of 2025. Can the Red Devils avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
