Rockwood hasn't had much luck against Greenback recently, but that could start to change on Monday. The Rockwood Tigers will be playing at home against the Greenback Cherokees at 6:00 p.m.
Rockwood is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after starting their season on the road. They lost 19-2 to Bledsoe County on Tuesday. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it nine in a row.
Meanwhile, Greenback took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Friday. They blew past Tellico Plains 17-4. The win was some much needed relief for the Cherokees as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Greenback let Wyatt Campbell and Kolden Williams run wild. Campbell went 2-for-3 with one home run, five RBI, and three runs, while Williams scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. That's the most runs Williams has posted since back in March of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Gabriel Severance, who scored two runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
Greenback always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .579. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Tellico Plains only posted an OBP of .238.
Rockwood suffered a grim 17-2 defeat to Greenback when the teams last played back in March of 2024. Will Rockwood have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other baseball content.
