The Maple Heights Mustangs will hit the road to start this year's campaign against the Kirtland Hornets. First pitch is scheduled at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.
On Wednesday, Kirtland had just enough and edged Jefferson Area out 7-6. Seven seems to be a good number for Kirtland as the squad scooped up a win with the same number of runs in their previous game.
The victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 2-0. As for Maple Heights, they've got a clean slate. Last season, they struggled throughout, finishing with a less-than-stellar 3-10 record.
Maple Heights might still be hurting after the 12-2 loss they got from Kirtland in their previous matchup back in April of 2023. Thankfully for Maple Heights, Luke Chuko (who scored two runs and stole three bases while going 2-for-3) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
