West Lafayette kicked off their season on the road on Saturday and hit a couple of potholes. They fell victim to a rough 13-7 loss at the hands of the Frankfort Hot Dogs. West Lafayette was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as Frankfort apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in April of 2023.
Lincoln Furry made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-4. Colin Kastens was another key contributor, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 2-for-4.
On Frankfort's side, Carlos Lopez made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (he also only allowed one walk). Lopez was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, four RBI, and two doubles.
In other batting news, Lopez-Alanis Alex was a standout: he went 1-for-4 with two runs, a triple, and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Chirs Sandoval, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Frankfort beat West Lafayette by a score of 8-7 later that day.
