The Arcola Purple Riders will hit the road to start this year's campaign against the Chrisman Cardinals. First pitch is scheduled at 4:30 p.m. on Monday.
Arcola came into Friday's game having lost five straight, but that streak is now in the rearview. They walked away with a 9-4 win over Shelbyville on Friday. The victory was just what Arcola needed coming off of a 10-0 loss in their prior matchup.
They made their fans wait, but they earned their first win of the season to make their record 1-4. As for Chrisman, they've got a clean slate. Last season, they struggled throughout, finishing with a less-than-stellar 3-13 record.
Chrisman suffered a grim 11-2 defeat to Arcola when the teams last played back in March of 2023. Thankfully for Chrisman, Keira Hohlbauch (who struck out nine batters over four innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
