Manzanola couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They fell victim to a tough 31-0 defeat at the hands of the Eads Eagles on Tuesday. The loss means Manzanola is still on the hunt for the season's first 'W'.
For Eads' part, Johnathan Vasquez made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he pitched an inning while giving up no earned runs or hits (he also only allowed one walk). Vasquez was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring four runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-4.
In other pitching news, Case Nelson looked comfortable as he scored four runs and stole two bases while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances.
Back at the plate, Brentley Lening and Porter Spady did most of the damage at the plate: Lening went 2-for-4 with a home run, two stolen bases, and three runs, while Spady went 3-for-3 with four runs, two stolen bases, and four RBI. Another player making a difference was Karsten Buller, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 2-for-4.
While Manzanola had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
