Bremen Athletics

After weeks of waiting and four cancellations, the varsity baseball team won their season opener over conference foe LaVille by a final of 14-0. Starting pitcher Casey Ton and battery mate Zack Rouch were locked in from the start, setting the Lancers down 1-2-3 in both the first and second innings. Ton finished with a 5 inning win, striking out 6 and only allowing one hit. The Bremen lineup found ways to get on base, and ran the bases well to generate early offense. The Lions got out to a hot start after back to back HBPs to start the bottom of the first. Zack Buszkiewicz drove in Corban Van Vuren then came around to score on Jack Wildauer's sac fly. In the second, JJ Cencelewski's two run single plated Van Vuren and pinch runner Maddux Hickman, extending the Lions' lead to 7. Bremen broke the game open in the third, highlighted by a bases clearing double from Van Vuren, another RBI single from Cencelewski, and a two run double by Aiden Alvarado. After LaVille led off the 5th with a double and a walk, Ton slammed the door to finish out the complete game win, retiring the next three batters in order. A solid Opening Day win for Bremen and - as usual - a great turnout from the Bremen fans. Thank you all for your support of the team and assistance behind the scenes. Varsity will host Riley Saturday at 1pm, following the JV game at 11am. (Note: this is a change from the original schedule. We are no longer playing a doubleheader at Riley. They will come to Bremen for one game after the JV concludes). The Lions and Lancers will square off again on Monday at 5:30 at Newton Park.
