The Barneveld Eagles will look to defend their home field on Tuesday against the Weston Silver Eagles at 5:00 p.m. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
Barneveld is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They took a 7-2 hit to the loss column at the hands of Pecatonica last Monday.
Meanwhile, Weston entered their contest against De Soto on Monday without any home losses, but there's a first time for everything. Weston fell just short of De Soto by a score of 4-3. It was the first time this season that Weston let down their fans at home.
Isaac Jennings was huge while hitting and pitching even without the win. On the mound, he struck out seven batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off eight hits (and not a single walk). Jennings was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with a stolen base, a double, and an RBI.
Jennings wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Garrett Jennings, who went 2-for-3 with a stolen base and an RBI.
Barneveld suffered a grim 9-1 defeat to Weston in their previous meeting back in April of 2023. Will Barneveld have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more baseball content.
