Pike gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Tuesday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Indianapolis Cardinal Ritter Raiders an 11-0 shutout. For the Red Devils, this counts as revenge for the 13-3 win the Raiders walked away with the last time they faced one another back in May of 2024.
The team relied heavily on Jacobi Jones, who scored two runs and stole three bases while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Rory Weaver, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 1-for-1.
Pike hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most five strikeouts in four consecutive matchups dating back to last season.
Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Pike will challenge Decatur Central at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. As for Indianapolis Cardinal Ritter, they will take on Clinton Prairie at 5:30 p.m. on the 9th.
