Baseball Wins in an Extra Inning Thriller at Zionsville, 11-6

By Brian Cooney

Baseball (6-3, 4-2 in HCC) won in extras on Thursday night (4.21), topping the Zionsville Eagles 11-6. Tied 6-6 in the top of the 8th inning, Brownsburg broke the game open with 5 unanswered runs. 

The offense was the story of the night, as both teams totaled over 10 hits. Steven Walsh opened the game up with an RBI single in the first inning. 

Walker Brodt came into this game when things were ugly, yet he thrived. He pitched for three innings, not allowing a run and striking out four. He held the lead for the Bulldogs as they made their comeback and eventual go-ahead 8th inning. 

Wyatt Clodfelter had himself a game, going 3-4 and scoring two runs. Jackson Fought went 2-5, scoring two as well.
