The Melcher-Dallas Baseball Squad fell behind early, and a comeback attempt fell short in a 9-5 setback in the Saints season opener to Colo-NESCO. The Royals struck for two runs in the bottom of the 1st inning and five more to break the game open in the 4th inning, but the Saints responded with five of their own in the 6th. Evan Schrader, Connor Swain, Easton Juline, Reece Chiabotta, and Trevor Raab all got RBIs in the 6th while Max Enfield got the Saints only hit of the game. Tristan Bennett took the loss going three innings surrendering two runs on three hits. Melcher-Dallas will take on Ankeny Christian on Saturday.
