KENNEDY CAPS OFF MOGADORE

MOGADORE, OH- On a brisk Monday evening, the John F. Kennedy Eagles took to the field against Mogadore, securing a strong 7-3 victory away from home. The Eagles’ offense clicked early and often, leveraging their timely hitting to build a commanding lead.

The game kicked off with Mogadore scratching across the first run in the bottom of the first, but that lead was short-lived. By the second inning, the Eagles had found their rhythm, plating three runs to seize control. The key moment came from Dominic Ryan, who later in the game smashed a crucial home run, not just padding the lead but also igniting the Kennedy crowd.

Contributions came from across the lineup, with Chase Hadley doubling and driving in a run, and newcomer Andrew Lapolla chipping in with two hits and an RBI. Michael Condoleon’s speed was on full display as well, stealing a base and scoring twice, underscoring the Eagles’ aggressive approach on the base paths.

Pitching for JFK was equally effective, with starter Freddy Bolchalk dominating over five innings, allowing just one run and striking out eight. Taggart Carfangia took over for the final two innings, navigating through some traffic but holding Mogadore to just two runs.

Mogadore’s lineup showed sparks of potential, with Ronnie Skye and Tyler Youngblood each knocking doubles, but they couldn’t quite muster enough to keep pace with the Eagles. Their pitcher, Cole Reese, encountered some trouble, giving up six earned runs across six innings, which ultimately proved too much of a hurdle.

The Eagles’ combination of power at the plate and solid pitching handed them a well-earned win as they continue to build momentum this season. As they prepare for their next matchup, the team looks poised to make a significant impact, with players stepping up both offensively and on the mound. If Monday’s performance is anything to go by, the Eagles are shaping up to be a tough opponent in any contest.
