Ended the year on a high note winning a Region Championship for the first time in 25 years! Not great at the plate but great as a full time catcher. Only 2 pass balls in the last 5 games of the season. And had a couple put outs as well.
Love this group of guys!
The 4A North II crowns a new winner! Congrats to Blake on winning the title. Braden Armes is a #dude!!! Held the fort in extras in relief vs. RM and this CG vs. Wheaton was even more impressive. Bengals 🧹 the region from start to finish
Next up: Isaac Blinkoff in state quarters
Congrats to Blake Baseball - Region Champs! Blake defeated Wheaton 2-1 in a great game by both teams. Our program’s second region title ever, and first since 2001. Way to go, Bengals!

Some of my favorite swings
Varsity Baseball defeated Paint Branch 16-0. Noah Temenak went 2-3 with two RBIs and Isaac Blinkoff went 2-3 with a triple and four RBIs. Blinkoff combined with Brody Matson, Braden Armes and Andres Reynoso to pitch a two hit shutout.
Blake 9
Wheaton 2
Blinkoff dominates once again. 15 Ks through two starts. Braden Armes becoming the go to late inning guy. Bengals now in great position for region seeding with H2H wins over it's two biggest competition - RM and Wheaton
Blake 14
RM 10

Huge statement win for the Bengals. 2nd team all division Braden Armes does his job on the bump. After winning the basketball state title, it seems that success is carrying over to the spring as well.
Two days from Opening Weekend. One of the most loaded slates in years with a lot of fun matchups.
Projected starters and brief previews of the premiere games. One more practice...
Had a fun first scrimmage on Saturday against Einstein. Went 1/4 with a double, a hard hit out and a two rbi ground out in the 7th to tie it up. Caught 3 & 2/3 with only 1 pass ball.

#4 Isaac Blinkoff (Blake)
The reigning Division III POTY. Has gotten more experience as an underclassman than many veterans. Standout hitter but the mound is where he really shines. Confident, repeatable delivery into the mid 80s with a huge hook.

Another weekend where we lose in the ‘ship. We still had a solid weekend as a team, only 2 strikeouts all of Sunday and a combined 30+ hits throughout. Went 3/7, 3 walks, 3 rbis. Caught 18 innings, only 2 pass balls and stole a bunch of strikes.
