Millbrook took the field against Cheshire Academy on Saturday afternoon for their true home opener. Trevor Liefer was on the mound for the Mustangs and managed to work a scoreless first two innings. In the third, however, the Fighting Cats bats awoke and Cheshire took a 5-0 lead. Millbrook responded with two in the home half of the inning.
In the top of the fourth, Cheshire added to their lead, plating three to go up 8-2. The Mustangs would trim the deficit to four in the bottom of the fifth on a 2-RBI single by Reid Kugler '14. Unfortunately, that was the end of th scoring for the final two innings and the Fighting Cats went home with an 8-4 victory.
Millbrook continues their homestand on Wednesday at 2:30 PM against Salisbury.
