by Tyriq D. Smith

The CCBC Dundalk Lions Baseball team is gearing up for an exciting and highly anticipated doubleheader against Montgomery College this Thursday, March 27th. With a current season record of 2-14, the Lions are looking to continue their newfound success after a promising doubleheader performance in their previous outing. These recent victories marked the team's first wins of the year and have given the Lions a much-needed boost of confidence as they head into this crucial matchup.

Recent Games

In their last doubleheader, the Lions turned heads by taking both games against Prince George Community College. The first contest saw the team hold on to a 10-6 victory, while the second game ended in a decisive 9-3 win. These victories were significant not only because they were the first of the season but also because they demonstrated the potential and resilience of the team, which had struggled to get on the board earlier in the year. The Lions will be looking to maintain this momentum and carry the energy from their recent wins into Thursday's games against the Raptors.

On the other hand, Montgomery College enters the doubleheader with a record of 7-15, having dropped four of their last five games. Their most recent series against CCBC Catonsville was particularly challenging, as the Raptors were defeated 15-2 in the first game and 8-6 in the second. Montgomery College will be eager to turn things around and get back on track with a much-needed win against the Lions. This game is crucial for the Raptors, who have been struggling to find consistency in their performance.

Players to Watch

• The standout player for the Lions in their most recent doubleheader was Ethan Rainier, who was exceptional at the plate. In the game against the Owls, Rainier contributed significantly by hitting a home run and driving in 3 RBIs, helping to propel the Lions to victory. Rainer's hot bat will be essential if the Lions are to keep their winning streak alive.
• Another key player to watch is Ryan Kennedy. In the second game of the doubleheader, Kennedy went a perfect 3 for 3 at the plate, showcasing his hitting prowess and contributing an RBI to the team's efforts. His consistency and ability to get on base will be crucial to the Lions' success in the upcoming games.

As the Lions aim to build on their recent success, this doubleheader will serve as a big test for the team. Can they continue to ride the wave of their first victories and extend their winning streak? Or will the Raptors bounce back from their recent struggles and spoil the Lions' momentum? With both teams fighting for a much-needed win, the stage is set for an exciting afternoon of baseball.

The doubleheader is scheduled to take place on the campus of CCBC Dundalk on Thursday, March 27th. First pitch for Game 1 is set for 2 PM, while Game 2 will follow at 4 PM.
