From St. Charles:

@BataviaBaseball storms back in the top of the fourth to tie the game. 1B Liam Darre (2026; Indian Hills CC) got the inning started with a hard hit RBI single through the infield. SS Michael Vander Luitgaren (2027) drove him in on a two run home run to LF.

Score is 4-4 heading into B4.

[Batavia Baseball @BataviaBaseball]

Dogs get back in the W column! Big day for the offense led by Vander Luitgaren (3-4, 3 doubles, 4 RBI). Doubles from Johnson, Oke, and Rodriguez and a big fly from Darre do the rest.

McKelvie 4 innings on the mound, Peterson with 2.2 and Kouzes comes in for the final out!

@BataviaBaseball strikes first on a two run shot off the bat of senior Liam Darre.
