Erie fell behind early to Reading and was never able to recover on Friday, being dealt their first loss in 614 days. A three-run first inning for the Fightins set the tone for an eventual 8-4 final, as Erie will try again to win the season-opening series tonight. AJ Ladwig, in his first professional appearance since 2018, allowed the first four batters of the game to reach base, but found more command of the zone as the night progressed. While Ladwig did allow two more runs on the night, including a solo home run, he still struck out seven batters in under five innings. Erie scattered small rallies to try and come back, but ultimately came up short. Jacob Robson collected his fourth RBI of the season on a single in the third inning, Juan Ceteno hit his first home run with Erie, a two-run shot in the sixth, and Kerry Carpenter drove in a run on a groundout in the seventh.
