Carmel gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Tuesday. They never let the Chesterton Trojans onto the board and left with a 5-0 win. That result was just more of the same for these two, as Carmel also won the last time the pair played back in May of 2022.
Nathan Koebcke looked comfortable as he kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits over four innings pitched. Theo Nagy relieved him and did a solid job, tossing three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on JD Stein, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-3. The team also got some help courtesy of Hunter Snow, who went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI.
On Chesterton's side, Caysen Bontrager was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he pitched 4.1 innings while giving up just one earned run off six hits (he also didn't allow any walks).
Chesterton's loss dropped their record down to 0-2.
