DeKalb is 0-3 against Eastside since April of 2019 but things could change on Friday. The Barons will square off against the Blazers at 5:00 p.m. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
DeKalb is headed out to face Eastside after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. The Barons sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 5-3 victory over Prairie Heights on Thursday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Barons have posted since April 8, 2024.
Summer Haverstock spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned runs on five hits and racked up 15 Ks.

On the hitting side, Serena Wineland was incredible, scoring a run and stealing three bases while going 2-for-4. Those three stolen bases gave her a new career-high. Rylee Moore was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Eastside). They put the hurt on Adams Central with a sharp 22-6 victory on Thursday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Blazers with their most commanding win of the season.
DeKalb might still be hurting after the 13-1 loss they got from Eastside when the teams last played back in April of 2024. Can the Barons avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
