The Bethel Bees will hit the road to start this year's campaign against the Riverside Pirates. First pitch is scheduled at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
Riverside kicked off their season on the road on Monday and hit a couple of potholes. They fell just short of Bellefontaine by a score of 11-10. Both teams can probably skip cardio this week after making that many trips around the bases.
Riverside's defeat dropped their record down to 0-1. As for Bethel, they've got a clean slate. Last season, they finished on the wrong side of .500 (12-15), but they'll be hoping to turn things around this year.
Bethel came out on top in a nail-biter against Riverside when the teams last played back in May of 2023, sneaking past 4-3. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Riverside's Alaina Snow, who pitched six innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off eight hits (she also didn't allow any walks). Now that she won't be playing on Tuesday, will it be that much easier for Bethel to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
