The Reading Blue Devils will venture away from home to face off against the Roger Bacon Spartans at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. Both come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
While Blue Devils fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Saturday's season opener. They walked away with a 5-2 win over Blanchester on Saturday.
Connor Davis was a major factor no matter where he played. He struck out eight batters over four innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits (and not a single walk). Davis was also big at the plate, scoring a run while going 2-for-3.
Davis wasn't the only one making solid contact as two players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Jason Lunsford, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI. Another was Jackson Thamann, who scored two runs while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances.
Meanwhile, Roger Bacon made easy work of Mariemont on Thursday and carried off a 16-2 victory. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Spartans.
The team relied heavily on Kyle Miller, who went 2-for-4 with six RBI, two triples, and one run. Those six RBI gave him a new career-high. Caleb Rosenfeldt was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances.
Reading took their win against Roger Bacon in their previous matchup back in April of 2023 by a conclusive 17-3 score. Will the Blue Devils repeat their success, or do the Spartans have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
