Cleveland Hill had to start their season on the road on Saturday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They fell just short of the Cheektowaga Chargers by a score of 9-7. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it ten in a row.
Jackson Elderkin put in work no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over three innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off three hits (and only one walk). Elderkin was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with one triple, two RBI, and one run.
