Baseball Game Preview: Willow Springs Bears vs. Alton Comets

The Willow Springs Bears will head out to square off against the Alton Comets at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many runs in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.

Willow Springs can't be to happy about their upcoming road matchup considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Friday. They fell just short of Mansfield by a score of 3-2. The defeat continues a trend for the Bears in their meetings with the Lions: they've now lost seven in a row.

Meanwhile, Monday just wasn't the day for Alton's offense. They lost 9-0 to Twin Rivers on Monday.

Willow Springs came out on top in a nail-biter against Alton when the teams last played back in May of 2024, sneaking past 8-7. The rematch might be a little tougher for Willow Springs since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
