Lakeland unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They took an 8-3 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Yorktown Huskers on Tuesday. The Hornets were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Huskers apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in May of 2024.
Anthony Frobose put in work while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out seven batters over 4.1 innings while giving up three earned runs off three hits (and only one walk). Frobose was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one double and one RBI.
Frobose wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Jake Consiglio, who scored a run while going 1-for-3. Another was Lou Vernagallo, who scored a run while going 1-for-2.
