The Kirtland Hornets are taking a road trip to square off against the Jefferson Area Falcons at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Kirtland will be strutting in after a win while Jefferson Area will be coming in after a defeat.
While Hornets fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Tuesday's season opener. They were the clear victors by an 11-5 margin over Chagrin Falls on Tuesday.
The team relied heavily on Carter Luzar, who scored two runs and stole three bases while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April of 2024. Noah Conner was another key player, scoring a run and stealing two bases while going 2-for-3.
Meanwhile, Friday just wasn't the day for Jefferson Area's offense. They came up short against University School on Friday, falling 17-0.
Kirtland skirted past Jefferson Area 7-6 in their previous matchup back in March of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Hornets since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
