The Lakeland Hornets will challenge the Mahopac Wolf Pac at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many runs in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.
Lakeland took a ten-run loss the last time they faced off against John Jay, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. The Hornets' pitcher stepped up to hand the Wolves a 2-0 shutout on Thursday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Hornets have posted against the Wolves since May 14, 2019.
Not much got past Ramzi Done, who gave up just a hit and racked up seven Ks to keep John Jay off the board.
On the hitting side, Lakeland saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was John Sibiski, who got on base in all three of his plate appearances with one stolen base.
Meanwhile, Mahopac had to start their season on the road on Thursday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They came up short against Ketcham, falling 10-0. The Wolf Pac haven't had much luck with the Storm recently, as the team has come up short the last four times they've met.
Lakeland might still be hurting after the 8-2 defeat they got from Mahopac when the teams last played back in May of 2024. Will the Hornets have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more baseball content.
