The Leetonia Bears will look to take advantage of their home field for the first time this season as they take on the Jefferson County Christian Royals at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
Leetonia is coming home looking for redemption after taking a loss in their road opener. They lost 12-2 to East on Friday.
Meanwhile, Jefferson County Christian had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 13 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Saturday. They came out on top against the Indians by a score of 7-3.
EJ Keener spent all five innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three runs (all of which were unearned) on one hit and racked up 11 Ks.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Wyatt Hervey, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in doubles (two). Carl Bonecutter was another key player, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base and two RBI.
Leetonia might still be hurting after the 9-3 loss they got from Jefferson County Christian in their previous meeting back in April of 2024. Can Leetonia avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
