Opening Day

Opening day is under way for the Newark Norsemen baseball team! For opening day, the Norsemen had to face the crusaders of Marquette. Unfortunately, the Norsemen fell short of the win on the first of April. The Norsemen had three games canceled that week, one against Plano that Friday, and then a double-header the next day in Hiawatha. Finally, the Norsemen got to play at Indian Creek on April 7th; Kendall Endres started at pitcher that game and didn’t let Indian Creek score through five innings. The Norsemen were leading 2-0, and then Indian Creek went on a rally in the 6th and 7th innings. The Norsemen could have had revenge on Indian Creek the next day at home. Indian Creek started off the game with an 8-0 start after the first inning. The Norsemen were starting a comeback, but fell short. The final score was 8-4. On April 10th, they played at Hinckley Big Rock and lost 8-1. But then the Norsemen had their revenge on April 11th, when they won 7-3. The Norsemen had a double header on the 12th. The double header was against Faith Christian Academy and the Norsemen won both games, the first game 21-1 and then second game 13-5. The Norsemen have their confidence up this month! They played Lamoille on April 16, and blew them out of the water 13-0 in five innings. The Norsemen are on a four game winning streak and hope to continue this into next month.
