Baseball is a different sport to manage when it comes to fighting for a championship within your conference and preparing your team for their ultimate goal which is to compete to the best of their ability in the state tournament. Both teams took the field a day later than expected (Tuesday rain out really challenges a team with pitch count) with the mindset to compete at the highest level and still be prepared for Saturday competition. It was managed that way as both teams navigated the game not letting their pitchers get to a point of ineligibility for Saturdays game. In the top of the first, a Scheeler lead off hit, a steal of second and an rbi single by McInnes gave the Huskies a 1-0 lead. In the third inning a lead off walk by Culotta, a sacrifice bunt by Scheeler and an RBI single by Stabile extended the lead to 2-0.

We want what’s best for our kids and that’s an opportunity to be at full strength for Saturday’s state playoff game. No one deserved to lose this one and I guess can say they didn’t as both teams walked off Co-Champions for the UCBAC Baseball 2025.
