FEEZLE SHINES AS REBELS TRUMP CHAMPION

COLUMBIANA, OH-In a MVAC thrilling showdown on Monday, the Crestview Rebels showcased their pitching talents and offensive firepower, securing a hard-fought 3-1 win over Champion.

Ethan Feezle’s standout performance on the mound, coupled with clutch hits from Drew Dattilio and others, propelled the Rebels to victory in a game marked by tense moments and standout plays.

Feezle took center stage as the starting pitcher for Crestview, delivering a masterful performance that left Champion batters struggling to find their rhythm. With an impressive 11 strikeouts over seven innings, Feezle showcased his command and control, surrendering just one run on five hits while issuing seven walks.

Both teams demonstrated strength on the mound, but Feezle ultimately proved to be the difference-maker for Crestview.

The Rebels wasted no time making their mark, as Feezle’s own single in the bottom of the first inning put Crestview on the scoreboard early. The momentum continued in the third inning, with Dattilio delivering a crucial single to extend the Rebels’ lead to 2-0.

Dattilio’s standout performance at the plate highlighted the depth of Crestview’s lineup, as he led the team with three hits in three at-bats. Luke Julian, Dattilio, and Feezle each contributed with an RBI, while Zach Davis collected two hits to bolster the Rebels’ offensive attack.

For Champion, Carson Fife got the nod to start the game on the bump and went the distance for the Flashes.  Fife’s impressive performance included giving up two earned runs on eight hits, walking one and striking out five Rebels.  Fife would also drive in the only run of the game offensively for Champion while putting together a two-hit performance.

As Crestview (7-0) looks ahead to their next matchup against Champion on Tuesday, April 16th, they will look to take a season series and continue a great start to the season.
