The Ephrata Mountaineers will head out on the road to face off against the Warwick Warriors at 4:15 p.m. on Monday. Both teams come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Ephrata had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They were the clear victor by a 21-1 margin over Cocalico. The final score was a far cry from the score of their previous head-to-head, which saw the teams combine for four runs.
Camryn Simes tossed a big game, keeping things locked down with no earned run or hits while striking out ten over 5.1 innings pitched.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Ty Custer, who scored four runs and stole two bases while getting on base in four of his six plate appearances. The team also got some help courtesy of Caleb Grant, who scored two runs while getting on base in all two of his plate appearances.
Meanwhile, Warwick took care of business in their home opener on Tuesday (barely). They skirted past Central York 15-14. Both teams can probably skip cardio this week after making that many trips around the bases.
Everything went Ephrata's way against Warwick when the teams last played back in March of 2023 as Ephrata made off with a 10-4 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Ephrata since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
