The Wayne Blue Devils are packing up and heading out on the road for their first away game of the season: they will square off against the Arlington Eagles on Monday.
Adams Central hit Wayne with a four-run seventh inning on Friday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Blue Devils came up short against the Patriots, falling 10-4. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest defeat the Blue Devils have suffered against the Patriots since April 29, 2021.
Wayne saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was William Patefield, who went 2-for-4 with three RBI. Adrian Contreras was another, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs.
Meanwhile, Arlington gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Friday. Everything went their way against Concordia/Brownell/Omaha Christian Academy as they made off with an 8-1 victory.
Wayne was able to grind out a solid win over Arlington in their previous matchup back in March of 2025, winning 5-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Blue Devils since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
