Midview Baseball rallies past Elyria 7-5

Midview Varsity Baseball scored five runs over the final two innings to defeat host Elyria High School 7-4 in Southwestern Conference action on Tuesday (April 28) evening at Ely Stadium. It was the fourth straight win for the Middies, who improved to 7-8 overall and 4-5 in the league.

Senior Kaiden Vogelpohl once again triggered the offense with three hits, while six of his teammates provided single hits in the win. Vogelpohl (1-0) also picked up the win on the mound with two scoreless, one-hit innings of relief.

Midview jumped ahead with two runs in the second inning. Senior Bryce Schubert had a RBI single, while junior Luke Jockel drove in a run with a fielder's choice. The Pioneers scored a run in the second and another in the third to tie the game and then plated another pair in the fifth to take a 4-2 advantage. Midview evened the score with a Vogelpohl single and junior Benjamin Szczepanski double in the sixth. The Middies then took the lead when two runs scored on a dropped fly ball and Vogelpohl followed with a RBI single in the seventh.

Szczepanski got the start and allowed four runs (one earned) on seven hits with one walk and six strikeouts over the first five innings.
