Baseball Game Preview: Dixon Dukes & Duchesses vs. Princeton Tigers

The Dixon Dukes & Duchesses will head out on the road to take on the Princeton Tigers at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

Dixon is leaving town to face Princeton after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Dixon came up short against DeKalb on Friday, falling 15-1. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest defeat the Dukes & Duchesses have suffered since May 7, 2024.

Dixon saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Brady Feit, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-2.

Meanwhile, Princeton didn't have quite enough to beat Sterling on Friday and fell 12-11.

Nolan Kloepping was cooking despite his team's loss, scoring a run while going 2-for-3. Ryan Jagers was another, scoring a run while going 2-for-4.

Dixon beat Princeton 6-1 in their previous meeting back in March of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for Dixon since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
