DEVILS RALLY TO SPIKE BROOKFIELD

/in /by

CAMPBELL, OH- The Memorial Varsity Red Devils pulled off a lively 9-4 win against Brookfield on Tuesday, showing some real grit and a knack for capitalizing on their opportunities.

The game kicked off with the Red Devils getting an early jump on the scoreboard in the first inning, thanks to a crucial error by Brookfield and a timely single from Pano Kolidakis, each bringing a runner home. But Brookfield wasn’t about to roll over. They snagged the lead in the top of the second, leveraging a couple of defensive mishaps by Memorial to go up 3-2.

However, the Red Devils weren’t down for long. They stormed back in the bottom half of the same inning, putting up a five-spot highlighted by a bases-clearing double from Kosta Patris that shifted the momentum firmly back in their favor. This big hit was part of a rally that saw Memorial jump ahead to a 7-3 lead.

On the mound, Sway Rodriguez was a steadying presence for the Red Devils, handling the Brookfield lineup with ease. Despite the team’s early defensive errors, Rodriguez kept his composure, surrendering just two hits and striking out six over a full seven innings of work. His performance earned him a well-deserved win, while Brookfield’s Coleman, who struggled with control and allowed seven runs over two innings, took the loss.

Kolidakis and Patris were key contributors with the bat, driving in two runs each. Patris also shined with a pair of hits, proving to be a real thorn in Brookfield’s side.

The Red Devils showed tremendous discipline at the plate, working their way to an impressive 10 walks. Duan Reynolds, Malik Young, and Avey Vazquez were particularly patient, drawing two walks each. This patience translated into aggression on the base paths, where the team racked up an astonishing 13 stolen bases. Reynolds, Bobby Ramirez, and Vazquez each snagged multiple bases, keeping the Brookfield defense on its toes throughout the game.

For Brookfield, Hardman managed to bat in a run, while Kikel and Rankin each put up a hit, but it just wasn’t enough to keep pace with Memorial’s relentless attack.

Next up, the Red Devils are set to host Champion at Bob Cene Park on Wednesday, looking to keep their momentum rolling. If they can maintain the same level of aggressive baserunning and sharp pitching, they’ll be tough to beat.
