Grayling had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They were the clear victor by a 17-2 margin over the Houghton Lake Bobcats. That result was just more of the same for these two, as Grayling also won the last time the pair played back in June of 2023.
Corbin Allen made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out nine batters over three innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits (and not a single walk). Allen was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring three runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Austin Schwartz, who went 2-for-4 with a home run, three runs, and four RBI. Trevor Cvitkovich was another key contributor, going 2-for-2 with two runs, a triple, and a stolen base.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Grayling beat Houghton Lake by a score of 17-2 later that day.
