Baseball Game Preview: Nokomis Redskins vs. Okaw Valley Timberwolves

The Nokomis Redskins are taking a road trip to square off against the Okaw Valley Timberwolves at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.

Nokomis lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Hillsboro, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Thursday's game. The Redskins never let the Hilltoppers get on the board and left with a 10-0 victory on Thursday. The Redskins might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine matchups by six runs or more this season.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Okaw Valley). They put the hurt on Blue Ridge with a sharp 17-4 win on Thursday. The victory was nothing new for the Timberwolves as they're now sitting on three straight.

Okaw Valley's win bumped their record up to 7-10. As for Nokomis, their victory bumped their record up to 10-7.

Nokomis got the 'W' in their previous meeting back in April of 2025 against Okaw Valley by a conclusive 9-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Redskins since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
