Walk-Off Homer Seals 'Wick Win

A walk-off grand slam propelled Brunswick to a decisive, dramatic victory over Citius Baseball Academy, 6-4, on Thursday afternoon.

The Bruins were down 4-2 in the bottom of the seventh inning when Boston Flannery homered on a 2-2 count, scoring four runs to seal the win. 

Wyatt Triestman led things off on the mound for the Bruins. The junior surrendered two runs on three hits over three innings, striking out two. Reed Hyde came in to relieve Triestman and allowed two runs on three hits through two innings. Liam Butler came into the game in the sixth inning and gave up no runs and no hits over the two innings, while fanning three batters and earning his first varsity win on the mound. 

After the Bruins allowed two runs in the top of the first inning, they were able to wake the bats up and come back to tie it in the bottom of the third inning. It started with a single by Hyde to left, but unfortunately, Kyle Karas was caught stealing moments later. The hits continued to come with Nick Bianco singling to center and Riley Redahan doubling to center, followed by Cole Mascolo being hit by a pitch to load the bases. Adonys Guzman earned a walk and was rewarded an RBI to make it a 2-1 game. Michael Yeager executed a perfect bunt on a suicide squeeze to score Redahan to make it 2-2. 

Citius scored two more runs in the top of the fifth inning before Brunswick walked it off in the bottom of the seventh. 

Riley Redahan led the Bruins with two hits in three at bats. Brunswick’s defense was sure-handed in the field and didn't commit a single error.

The Bruins are back home on Friday for a league game against familiar foe St. Luke’s School. First pitch is set for 4:00 p.m.
