A dominant Charleston baseball lineup and a struggling Mattoon team both got a taste of rival victory in an afternoon double header.
The Trojans are second in the Apollo conference despite a game one loss against the Green Wave yesterday.
Mattoon came out strong scoring five runs in the first inning alone, while the Trojans rallied midway through, but fell a run short losing 7-6.
But game two was all about consistency as the Trojans proved they were the more athletic team, earning a comeback win 8-4.
The Green Wave are second-to-last in the Apollo at three-and-five while Charleston sits at five-and-three.
Charleston won't be playing any ball today, due to weather, the game at Champaign Centennial is postponed.
If weather cooperates, the Trojans are scheduled to play Casey-Westfield tomorrow at home.
Like the baseball rivalry, the Mattoon and Charleston softball teams also split a double header.
The Trojans are 16-and-two after a pair of games against the Green Wave Tuesday afternoon.
Mattoon was all over game one with a 12-4 win, but for Macey McElravy, it took a good eye and an even better swing to lead the Trojans to a game two victory.
The walk off homerun gave the Trojans a last minute 6-5 win over the Green Wave.
Due to rainy weather today, Charleston's home match against Paris is canceled.
A make-up date hasn't been scheduled.
