Season Opener vs. Grand Blanc Gladiators (6/3)

Ready to play ball!

In the inaugural game for the Mudcats Monday night, we fell to a talented Grand Blanc Gladiators squad by a score of 11-9 at Grand Blanc High School. A tight game throughout, it could have easily gone either way as the Mudcat defense repeatedly came up big, turning three double plays. In the end though, the Gladiators had just a little too much firepower. 

Devin Hadd was impressive on the mound, going four strong innings and Max Eaton reached base all three times he came to the plate. 

Keeping an eye on the action

What made this game all the more interesting was the fact that just two weeks ago, many of the players on the two teams were teammates playing for the Grand Blanc East and Grand Blanc West middle school teams! The Mudcats and Gladiators will match up again at the end of the season. In the meantime, next up for the Mudcats is the Fenton Crush, 6:30 Thursday night at the Union City Ballfields.
