Largo gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Tuesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 5-4 victory over the Clearwater Central Catholic Marauders. This was payback for the Packers, who suffered a 5-1 loss the last time these two teams met.
Laila Weber spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and three unearned) runs on nine hits and racked up six Ks.
At the plate, Largo saw seven different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Elle Fleck, who went 1-for-2 with one double and one RBI. Mia Kabakov was another, scoring a run while going 1-for-4.
Largo will have a chance to go back-to-back against Clearwater Central Catholic: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
