Baseball Recap: Rock Island Comes Up Short

Davenport North hit Rock Island with a five-run first inning on Saturday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Rocks took a 7-3 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Wildcats. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Rocks of the 10-5 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in May of 2024.

Rock Island has also been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last nine matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 11-17 record this season. Davenport North's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-2.

The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: the Wildcats beat Rock Island by a score of 9-1 later that day.
