Softball Preview: Rockport Vikings vs. Ipswich Tigers

Rockport is 2-8 against Ipswich since May of 2016 but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Wednesday. The Rockport Vikings will head out on the road to face off against the Ipswich Tigers at 3:45 p.m. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

Rockport couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They wound up on the wrong side of a tough 26-7 walloping at the hands of Salem on Friday. The loss means Rockport is still on the hunt for the season's first 'W'.

Meanwhile, Monday just wasn't the day for Ipswich's offense. They suffered a rough 10-0 defeat at the hands of Amesbury on Monday. Ipswich has not had much luck with Amesbury recently, as the team's come up short the last six times they've met.

Rockport couldn't quite finish off Ipswich in their previous meeting back in May of 2023 and fell 7-5. Can Rockport avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
