🚨 GAME RECAP — BIG KATZ FALL IN OPENER, 18–8

The season opened with a tough test for the Big Katz, as they dropped their first game of the year 18–8 in a matchup that showed both early struggles and flashes of fight.

The tone was set early, as the Big Katz came out a bit unsettled in the top of the first inning, allowing 8 runs before settling in. Despite the early deficit, the boys didn’t fold. They responded with energy and effort, chipping away at the lead and closing the gap to 10–4 by the end of the second inning.

The third inning proved to be the difference-maker. A combination of defensive miscues and missed opportunities allowed the Indians to capitalize and push across another 8 runs, extending their lead. To their credit, the Big Katz continued to battle at the plate, adding 4 more runs, but time restrictions brought the game to a close with a final score of 18–8.

Both teams agreed to play an additional half inning to get more reps in, but cold temperatures ultimately led the umpire to call things early.

The Big Katz will look to bounce back this Saturday in a doubleheader with Ohio Built Baseball — game times are 1:30 PM and 4:15 PM.

We appreciate all the parents for braving the weather and supporting the boys. We’ll keep building. 💪
