Rock Island was led to victory by Conner Diiulio, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday. Diiulio was dynamite, not allowing a single earned run and only one hit while striking out seven over seven innings pitched.
Diiulio's strong effort led Rock Island over Sterling and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. Rock Island is 8-1 against Sterling going back to May of 2018, a lead they'll look to extend.
