Kirtland Has 2 Tough Luck Losses to Open the Season

 3/28/19: On Monday (March 25th) the Hornets opened up the year with an 8-1 loss at Riverside. Trailing 1-1 in the bottom of the 6th, the bullpen had trouble shutting down the Beavers on a very cold day. Sophmore starting pitcher Andrew Spencer threw 5.1 innings of 1 hit ball in his first career varsity start. Seann McGill went 2-3 with a double, scoring our only run, and Jaymes Torok added to hits along with our only RBI. In our second game of the season (March 27th), Sophomore Mason Sullivian threw a complete game gem in a losing effort, along with doubling off the fence in the 4th inning. Joey Torok led the offense going 2-3 with a double and 2 RBI's.
