The Rhein Rockets were in action Saturday playing a two-game set in Ituna.
In game one the Rockets met the Whitewood Falcons with  Rhein starter Brett Peppler going the distance, after giving up runs in the first.
Meanwhile, the Rocket offence relied on the long ball, as Evan Neibrandt and Adam Neibrandt both went deep in the first inning to take the lead.
For Adam Neibrandt it was a case of giving himself a birthday present, as he turned 23 Saturday.
The Rockets then played the Moose Jaw Canadians with Rhein falling behind early 4-0 in the first, but veteran hurler Terry Peppler settled his 58-year-old right arm into the routine of pitching.
Slowly the Rockets got back into the game, plating two in the top of the seventh to tie the score 4-4.
Moose Jaw could not score off Peppler in the bottom of the seventh, and after a little discussion the teams decided to go an extra frame.
The Rockets couldn’t score in their half of the eighth in spite of having a runner on third with two outs to try to score him.
However, the Canadians couldn’t solve the ageless Peppler either, and the game ended in a 4-4 draw.
