Blackwell unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They lost 14-2 to the Jones Longhorns on Monday. The Maroons haven't had much luck with the Longhorns recently, as the team has come up short the last three times they've met.
Blackwell saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Zaden Root, who scored a run while going 2-for-3. The dominant performance also gave Root a new career-high in doubles (two).
While Blackwell had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
