Michigan Lutheran had to start their season on the road in Saturday's first game, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They fell just short of the Bangor Vikings by a score of 5-3. Michigan Lutheran was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as Bangor apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in April of 2017.
For Bangor's part, Isabelle Horvath made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She struck out 12 batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits (and only one walk). Horvath was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run and stealing a base while getting on base in two of her four plate appearances.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Emily Wisniewski, who scored two runs and stole three bases while going 3-for-4. Another player making a difference was Alexis Wisniewski, who went 2-for-4 with a triple, a stolen base, and a run.
Bangor pushed their record up to 4-1 with that victory, which was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: they beat Michigan Lutheran by a score of 5-3 later that day.
