Leopold unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They lost 11-2 to the Bernie Mules on Friday.
Piper Lincoln spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and seven unearned) runs on six hits and racked up nine Ks.
At the plate, Malia VanderMierden made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3. The team also got some help courtesy of Ava Jansen, who went 2-for-4 with one double and one RBI.
Bernie's win was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 2-0.
Looking ahead, Leopold will take on Malden at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. Bernie has already played their next game (against Charleston), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
