The Brookville Raiders will head out on the road to challenge the Punxsutawney Chucks at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
Brookville was not able to secure the win in their season-opener two weeks ago. Neither they nor Union could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 0-0 tie.
Meanwhile, it was close, but on Monday Punxsutawney sidestepped Indiana for a 5-4 victory. The win made it back-to-back victories for Punxsutawney.
Coy Martino was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off two hits. Martino was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI.
In other batting news, Cooper Hallman was excellent, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with a double.
Brookville might still be hurting after the 13-5 loss they got from Punxsutawney in their previous matchup back in May of 2023. Can Brookville avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
