The Preston Indians will face off against the Snake River Panthers 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'.
After dropping their season opener at home, Snake River is headed out to face a Indians team ready to give their home crowd a win. Preston lost 14-8 to Marsh Valley on Wednesday. The Indians have struggled against the Eagles recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive lost matchup.
Conner Thomson put in work no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits (and only one walk). What's more, he gave up only zero earned runs, the fewest he's had since back in March of 2025. He was even better at the plate, firing off two home runs and four RBI while going 2-for-4.
Thomson wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Aidyn Thomson, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with one stolen base, one run, and one double. Levi Despain was another, going 2-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one RBI.
Meanwhile, Snake River had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They took a 6-2 hit to the loss column at the hands of Malad on Wednesday.
Preston came out on top in a nail-biter against Snake River in their previous meeting back in April of 2025, sneaking past 10-9. Will the Indians repeat their success, or do the Panthers have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
