Baseball Recap: Vernon Hills Comes Up Short

If Vernon Hills was feeling good fresh off their 9-2 takedown of Fenton last Monday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Vernon Hills Cougars fell just short of the Palatine Pirates by a score of 8-6 on Tuesday. The Cougars haven't had much luck with the Pirates recently, as the team has come up short the last three times they've met.

Vernon Hills' loss dropped their record down to 1-1.

While they had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:45 p.m. on Wednesday.
