The Rockets launched past the Chinooks in a 1A Trico doubleheader that pushed Castle Rock into a critical fourth-place league standing position as the regular season wound down Tuesday.

Castle Rock won a nail-biting first game 5-4, then dominated the second game 10-0.

The pair of wins made it three victories in four games for the Rockets, which beat Heritage 4-2 last Wednesday before falling to Seton Catholic 7-0 last Thursday.
