THE SONG OF LEGENDS

HUBBARD, OH – Hubbard Eagles pitcher Braydon Songer delivered a no-hitter in the NE8 championship game, capping off a season that saw the team defy expectations and lay claim to the conference title. Songer, joined by hosts DJ Yokley and Anthony Hartwig on the YSN Live podcast, reflected on his performance and the team’s journey.

Songer pitched with confidence, especially after a win over Poland the previous week. “I had a lot of confidence,” he said, crediting head coach John for trusting him with the start in the title game. That trust paid off as Songer, backed by teammates who “put a chip on [their] shoulder,” led Hubbard to a thrilling victory over the defending champions. The season wasn’t without early adversity. After a tough opening loss to Poland, the Eagles turned things around quickly. “We knew we had to stay up. We couldn’t go down in that two, three game losing streak,” Songer explained.

Songer also spoke about the competitive spirit that drives him—not just in baseball, but in family matches with his sister, home run derbies, and even backyard poker and golf with friends. Off the field, he credits his family for his work ethic: “They do everything for me…That’s what made me who I am today.” Looking ahead to finals week and the playoffs, Songer remains focused and humble, urging “one at a time” as the team’s approach. With his eyes on further postseason success, Songer has already cemented his place as one of Hubbard’s top athletes—pitching a no-hitter in the biggest game of the year. As DJ Yokley put it, “Every time his cleats touch the dirt, kid gets better and better.” Eagles fans are sure to keep their eyes on Songer as Hubbard’s playoff run continues.
