Cocoa Beach's JV softball team delivered a decisive 25-3 victory over Rockledge on March 4, 2026, at Rockledge High School. The win improves Cocoa Beach's record to 8-8-2, while Rockledge falls to 1-5 on the season. The game, played in the first inning of the spring season, saw the Minutemen dominate from the start.
Cocoa Beach scored 25 runs across seven innings, with 12 hits and no errors. Rockledge managed just three runs on three hits and seven errors. The Minutemen's offense exploded in the first inning, scoring four runs, then added eight in the second and 13 in the third. The Raiders struggled to contain the Cocoa Beach lineup, which capitalized on defensive miscues and solid hitting.
Head coach Sarah Mitchell said the team focused on execution during spring break practices. 'We worked on situational hitting and defensive communication,' she said. 'Today showed we're ready for the season.' The game was called after seven innings due to weather, but the score remained unchanged.
The win gives Cocoa Beach momentum as it enters district play next week. Rockledge, which has lost five straight, will look to regroup ahead of its next game on March 10 against Satellite High. The game was the first of the season for both teams, with Cocoa Beach's offense clearly outpacing Rockledge's in all aspects.
