Baseball Game Preview: Glenwood Rams vs. Creston Panthers

The Glenwood Rams are taking a road trip to face off against the Creston Panthers at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.

Glenwood managed to slip by Red Oak the last time these teams faced off, but didn't have those same answers this time around. The Rams lost 9-2 to the Tigers on Tuesday. The Rams' loss signaled the end of their five-game winning streak.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Creston). They blew past Treynor 16-7 on Wednesday. Considering the Panthers have won seven matchups by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Creston is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a massive bump to their 9-9 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.3 runs over those games. As for Glenwood, their defeat dropped their record down to 8-8.

Glenwood beat Creston 8-3 in their previous meeting back in June of 2025. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Rams since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
