Saturday Game 2: North Olmsted Ambushes Arcs 19-5
The weekend closed on a rough note in Game 2 of a Saturday doubleheader as the North Olmsted Eagles (2-5) jumped all over Brush pitching in a 19-5 blowout.
North Olmsted struck early and never let up:
- Multi-run innings in the first, second, and third
- An eight-run fourth inning fueled by walks, hit batters, and defensive lapses
The Eagles capitalized on control issues, drawing 10 walks and adding eight stolen bases in a game that quickly spiraled away.
Brush managed just four hits, with RBIs from
Braylon Davis,
Jayden Amey, and
Isaac Sypniewski, but couldn't match North Olmsted's relentless pressure. James Gardner took the loss as the Arcs' pitching depth was stretched thin.
