Manhattan had to hit the road for their first game and sadly it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They fell just short of the Lawrence Lions by a score of 8-6 on Friday. Manhattan was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as Lawrence apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in March of 2023.
For Lawrence's part, they got a great performance from Taylor Zeckser as she struck out seven batters over seven innings while giving up six earned runs off ten hits.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Harper Dye, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. The team also got some help courtesy of Lydia Folks, who scored a run while going 2-for-4.
While Manhattan had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
