BROOKFIELD DOMINATES FOR THEIR FIRST WIN
By Noah Ricks
BROOKFIELD, OH – The Brookfield Warriors baseball team came together to get their first win of the 2024 season. In a game where they would build up a huge lead early on, they would defeat the Liberty Leopards 13-3 in six innings to win Game 1 of a home-and-home series.
The Warriors started off strong as they had a dominant seven-run first inning. The batting rotation found ways to draw walks and run bases on Liberty’s defense all night long. On the diamond, they would play tough and nimble as Hunter Warrender pitched a solid five innings, with four of those being shutouts. Despite a three-run mini-rally by Liberty in the fifth, the Warriors did just enough to get to the ten-run threshold in six innings.
The Warriors (1-2) will play the Leopards (0-1) again out in Liberty tomorrow night to wrap up the home-and-home series. Brookfield found a way to play together as an entire unit as they will look to lift each other up and get to .500 on the year with a win tomorrow.
