Carroll and Leo played their baseball season opener on Monday night. The Lions pulled within one in the top of the sixth after Landen Ruoff’s 2-run double made it 6-5. But then the Chargers answered with seven runs in the bottom of the sixth. That included an RBI single by Jaxon Craker (who also hit a two-run double in the first) and a two-run single by freshman Asher Wagoner. Carroll won the game 13-5.
The Chargers are expected to have a quick turnaround. Though there is a chance of rain in the forecast, they are scheduled to host another Northeast 8 Conference team, the Columbia City Eagles (19-9 last year). That game is expected to be played tonight at 6pm.
