Trojan Baseball season opener ends in loss to Lenox

Sports

May 20th, 2024 by Asa Lucas

Strong pitching from Laramie Stoakes and Gabe Funk held Atlantic to 1 hit and the Lenox Tigers racked up 13 hits on their way to a 11-4 win over Atlantic on Monday night in Atlantic.

Both teams exchanged runs early on in the first three innings to have the ball game tied 2-2. The momentum then shifted in the top of the fourth when the Tigers went on to score six straight runs off of four base hits and a few wild pitches.  Lenox then led 8-2 after 4. The Tigers cruised to the win from there with the Trojans only threatening a big inning in the 7th when they scored two.

Stoakes got the win with 7 strikeouts. Gabe Funk finished with 4 strikeouts and only allowed 2 runs. Looking back on the game, Atlantic Head Coach Nathan Block credited the fourth inning for being a decisive moment in the game.

Tristan Hayes started the game for Atlantic but was subbed out for Keston Schmitt who threw over 5 strikeouts. Jaice Larson had one hit on the night and Sawyer Tarell had one RBI. Even with the way the Trojans hit on the night Coach Block saw some positive moments from the Atlantic pitching core.

After the game Coach Block’s message to his team was don’t let one game define you.

The Trojans fall to 0-1 to start the year and will get ready to face Missouri Valley on Tuesday night.  Lenox improves to 1-o on the season and will travel to face Creston Tuesday.
