Jr Rockets Season Comes to an End
October 20, 2021
The Jr. Rockets started regionals the week of Sept. 21. On Wednesday, they took on Lebanon, and in the second inning, the Rockets scored 4 runs. The next inning, they scored another run. Then, Lebanon came back and scored 7 runs in the fifth inning. The Jr. Rockets then rallied together and put 9 more runs on the board. Lebanon put 2 more runs on the board, while the Jr. Rockets put 1 more up there. They ended the game, winning 15-9.
On Thursday, the Jr. Rockets took on the Nashville Hornets in the second round of regionals. In the first inning, the Hornets scored 4 against Okawville. In the 3rd inning, the Hornets put 6 more on the board. In the 4th and 5th innings, the Hornets scored 1. The Jr.Rockets lost to Nashville 0-12.
I interviewed an 8th grader, Landen Shubert. I asked him how he thought they did in regionals. He answered with “I’m surprised, because I didn’t think we would make it this far.”
The Rockets ended the season with a record of 1-16.
