Baseball Game Preview: Joplin Eagles vs. Hersey Huskies

The Joplin Eagles will take on the Hersey Huskies at 4:30 p.m. on Monday.

After dropping their season opener at home, Hersey is headed out to face a Eagles team ready to give their home crowd a win. Joplin came up short against St. James Academy on Saturday, falling 7-1. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it seven in a row.

Meanwhile, neither Hersey nor Highland Park could gain the upper hand on Tuesday so the two teams had to settle for a 5-5 tie.

Joplin came out on top in a nail-biter against Hersey when the teams last played back in March of 2024, sneaking past 1-0. Does Joplin have another victory up their sleeve, or will Hersey turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
