Briggs unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They fell 11-8 to the Westland Cougars on Wednesday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Bruins of the 11-10 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in May of 2015.
Westland's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 3-0.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Briggs is packing up and heading out on the road for their first away game this season: they will face off against Africentric Early College at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. This will be Briggs' first chance to prove their worth in the conference. As for Westland, they will head out to take on Franklin Heights at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Westland knows how to get runs on the board -- the team has finished with ten runs or more in their past three matches -- so hopefully Franklin Heights likes a good challenge.
