Last Thursday, the varsity baseball team (5-13) hosted its annual senior night against Glenville (1-9). The 2025 season is quickly coming to an end, so the Hurricanes wanted to finish on a high note before the playoffs begin tonight.
Before the game, the Hurricanes recognized seniors Tyler Cox, Aiden Starr, Jadyn DeLuca, Blake Baker, Phillip Banaszak, Collin Flanagan, and Shamus Harper for their hard-work throughout the years and their dedication to Brooklyn baseball.
For the game itself, both teams went down in order in the first inning with Flanagan striking out two in the top half. After a Cox leadoff walk in the bottom frame, he was thrown out stealing, and the next two hitters went down.
However, the second inning would begin the rout for the Hurricanes. After a leadoff single by DeLuca, he stole second base, and an error allowed him to reach third. He later crossed home plate to score the first run after yet another defensive error. After a few walks, errors, and passed balls, the Hurricanes were up 4-0 with nobody out. Cox then reached on an infield single, pushing another run across.
The hits started pouring on with Starr tallying an RBI double and DeLuca also hitting a double. Harper drove in Starr after an error. Then after a Baker walk with one out and a Flanagan strikeout, Banaszak drew a bases-loaded walk to make it 9-0. Junior Dominic Pytel laced a base hit into center field, plating two more runs. Back to the top of the order, Cox knocked an RBI single into left field before the inning came to an end.
The Hurricanes now led, 12-0.
Leading off the bottom of the third, freshman Mason Vega roped a double and later advanced to third on a wild pitch. He would soon score on a Starr sacrifice fly to make it 13-0. This would conclude the scoring for the Hurricanes.
Flanagan continued his dominance on the mound this season, as he pitched a complete game shutout, only giving up one hit and allowing one walk, while striking out 10 batters.
Final Score: Brooklyn 13, Glenville 0.
This win propelled the Hurricanes to 6-13, and with a win against Euclid just two days ago, the Hurricanes finished with a regular season record of 7-13.
The boys will travel to Wooster this evening for their sectional game against Triway, first pitch at 5:00. Good luck, boys!
Another good luck to the Hurricanes track team as they compete in their district meet this evening as well.
Go Canes!
