Baseball Game Preview: Kirby Trojans vs. Mount Ida Lions

Kirby is preparing for their first conference matchup of the season on Tuesday. They and the Mount Ida Lions, after both having extra time off, will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field at 4:30 p.m. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.

Kirby is headed into Tuesday's contest looking for a big change in momentum after dropping their fourth straight games dating back to last season last Tuesday. They came up short against Bismarck, falling 12-2.

Meanwhile, Mount Ida didn't have quite enough to beat Foreman last Thursday and fell 4-3.

Kirby suffered a grim 20-0 defeat to Mount Ida in their previous meeting back in April of 2025. Can the Trojans avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
