Atlantic Collegiate Academy is preparing for their first region matchup of the season on Friday. They will venture away from home to challenge the Mullins Auctioneers at 6:30 p.m. Atlantic Collegiate Academy will be strutting in after a win while Mullins will be coming in after a loss.
While Armada fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They came out on top against Wilmington Christian Academy by a score of 3-0 on Friday.
LOGAN NEWCOMB was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. NEWCOMB was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double.
In other pitching news, ELI CHOWNING looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over four innings pitched.
NEWCOMB wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was GAVIN STREET, who went 1-for-2 with one run.
Meanwhile, Wednesday just wasn't the day for Mullins' offense. They might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 15-0 to Lake View, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last eight times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.
Atlantic Collegiate Academy got the 'W' when the teams last played back in April of 2025 against Mullins by a conclusive 20-0 score. Do the Armada have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Auctioneers turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
