It was an extra innings season opener as Barker dropped a 13-9 decision to visiting Pembroke this morning in a non league baseball game.
Austin Humphrey, Owen Hootman, Kylan Ball and Aidan Balduf each had a pair of hits for Pembroke which scored four runs in the top of the eighth inning to claim the win.
Barker had tied the game at 9-9 in the bottom of the seventh on a two-run double by Ireland Brady who had two hits on the day.
The Raiders had built up a 7-0 lead but the Dragons rallied with a big 8 run sixth inning uprising to take a 9-7 lead.
Aidan Voss pitched the first four innings for the Raiders striking out 7 and allowing 1 hit. He registered a clutch strikeout to get out of a bases loaded jam in the second inning.
Barker is scheduled to host CSAT at 11 Tuesday morning in another non league contest.
Kenmore East 6, Albion 1
