The Okawville Rockets will be playing in front of their home fans against the Valmeyer Pirates at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
Okawville had to hit the road for their first game and sadly it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They fell just short of Trico by a score of 2-1 on Tuesday. The loss means Okawville is still on the hunt for the season's first 'W'.
Okawville saw one different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Hayden Heintz, who went 2-for-4 with two doubles.
Meanwhile, Valmeyer got themselves on the board against Cahokia on Tuesday, but Cahokia never followed suit. They put the hurt on the Comanches with a sharp 16-0 victory. For those curious, yes, that was the biggest win Valmeyer has managed all season.
Landon Roy was a standout: he scored three runs and stole a base while going 2-for-2. Another player making a difference was Luke Blackwell, who went 2-for-2 with three RBI, a triple, and a stolen base.
Okawville might still be hurting after the 7-1 defeat they got from Valmeyer in their previous meeting back in March of 2023. Thankfully for Okawville, Elijah Miller (who struck out six batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit) won't be suiting up this time.
