Canterbury had to start their season on the road on Monday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They fell just short of the Fort Myers Green Wave by a score of 2-1. The Cougars were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Green Wave apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in February of 2024.
Canterbury got a good showing from Ashby Piatt, who struck out six batters over 3.2 innings while giving up just two earned runs off two hits (and only one walk).
On the hitting side, Brayden Habuda was cooking despite his team's loss, going 2-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one double.
Looking ahead, Canterbury will take on Bonita Springs at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Fort Myers, they will hit the road for the first time this season to challenge Ida Baker at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The last four games Fort Myers has played (dating back to last season) have been within two runs, so don't be surprised if it's a close one.
