Missouri Premier Cricket League tracks busy summer season in Hazelwood
Hazelwood's MPCL season was already producing close calls, with the Hawks splitting results and Division 2 red-ball cricket running beside T20 play.
The Missouri Premier Cricket League's 2026 Summer Division 1 season opened in Hazelwood on June 13, and the scorecards already pointed to a compact race rather than a runaway. The league's online pages showed the Hawks, Blues, STL Dragons and SPH all taking turns in results while MPCL also ran a Summer Division 2 red-ball section alongside the hard tennis ball Twenty20 competition.
One scorecard showed the Hawks beating the STL Dragons by 36 runs after posting 160 and holding STL Dragons to 124/5. Another brought the Hawks back into a tighter game, but this time on the wrong side of the result: the Blues chased 143/5 in 16.4 overs to win by five wickets after the Hawks made 140/5 in 19 overs. A separate result line showed SPH winning by 15 runs, adding another team to the early-season mix.
The points table and season statistics sections suggested MPCL was tracking the summer in the way a serious club league should, with cumulative runs, balls and standings all being updated as matches were added. That kind of live accounting matters in a division where one good chase or one defended total can swing momentum quickly, especially when teams were already producing both one-sided wins and finishes tight enough to turn on a late over.
Hazelwood gave the competition a visible home in the St. Louis area, and the City of Hazelwood's active municipal site and alert banner underscored how firmly the local setting was rooted in public life. For Missouri cricket, the bigger story was not just that games were being played, but that the league was running two formats at once and documenting the summer in real time. With the Hawks already involved in both a 36-run win and a five-wicket loss, the table was still taking shape rather than settling into a single front-runner.
