CHAMPION FINDS SUCCESS ON THE ROAD
BROOKFIELD OH- Champion handled things on the road Thursday, rolling past Brookfield 7-2 in a solid all-around showing.
The Flashes got going in the second with a double down the line and a productive groundout to plate a pair. They kept it rolling in the third, tacking on another run with a sharp single to left.
Champion’s starter went six strong, giving up just two runs on two hits while working around six walks and punching out five. The pen shut it down from there with a clean final inning.
At the plate, Champion scattered 10 hits with a balanced attack. A couple of guys picked up multi-hit nights, and they got timely knocks with runners on. Two different hitters brought home a pair of runs, and they weren’t afraid to run either—swiping a few bags and putting pressure on the defense all night.
They turned a double play, stayed clean in the field with no errors, and looked sharp across the board.
Brookfield scratched across two runs thanks to some disciplined at-bats and six free passes, but couldn’t keep up with Champion’s pressure. A few bats chipped in with hits, and a pair of players drove in runs to get Brookfield on the board. Champion heads to Newton Falls next, looking to keep the momentum going.
