MORRIS — The Hubs varsity baseball team dropped a pair of games against Morris this week to fall to 4-4 overall and 2-3 in NIB-12 play. Rochelle will begin a three-game series with Geneseo at home on Monday, April 23 at 4:30 p.m.

Tuesday Opener

Only one run was scored during the Hubs varsity baseball team’s conference game against Morris on Tuesday, but unfortunately for the purple and white, the Redskins walked away with the series-opening victory after Payton Voitik scored on a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Junior Johnny Beck took the mound for Rochelle, surrendering one run on just three hits with four strikeouts. Morris held the Hubs to two hits on Tuesday, with sophomore Gavin Ansteth and junior Brandon Johnson each totaling one hit.

Thursday Finale

The Hubs scored zero runs for the second consecutive game on Thursday, when the Rochelle boys lost at Morris by a final score of 12-0 in five innings.

Senior Johnny Beck singled in the first inning, and senior Noah Mershon singled in the fifth inning for Rochelle’s two hits on the day.
