0 Event Wins In 2 Tries... But NOW They're At HOME ๐ŸŸ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ค St. Louis Shock vs Palm Beach Royals

Anna Bright. Hayden Patriquin. Gabe Tardio. Kate Fahey. On paper, the St. Louis Shock are one of the most talented rosters in Major League Pickleball. On the scoreboard, they have zero event wins through two events โ€” finishing third in Dallas and second in Columbus. Now they're finally back at Chaifetz Arena in front of their home crowd, and the pressure couldn't be higher.

Standing in their way is the Palm Beach Royals โ€” a brand new expansion franchise in just their first full MLP season. Don't let the rookie label fool you. Tyson McGuffin, Dekel Bar, Tina Pisnik, and Sofia Sewing showed up in Columbus and shocked the league with a fourth-place finish. Sewing in particular was one of the stories of that event, and she's only getting more dangerous.

Oh โ€” and Grayson Goldin is suiting up for Palm Beach after returning to competition following a stroke earlier this year.

Can the home crowd finally unlock the Shock? Or does the expansion team keep writing their story?
