Concordia couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They fell just short of the Riley County Falcons by a score of 5-4 on Thursday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to Concordia of the 6-1 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in March of 2023.
Erinae Flesher spent all seven innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and three unearned) runs on 11 hits.
On the hitting side, Kenlee Williams made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and scored a run while going 2-for-3. Another player making a difference was Hattie Blackwood, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-3.
While Concordia had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
