Bredl Has Record Day As Cougars Defeat Hiram

HIRAM, Oh. - Baseball traveled to Ohio to take on the Hiram Terriers. They won the offensive battle by the score of 19-14.

Senior Jake Bredl hit a grand slam in the top of the second, tying the single-season homerun record at Chatham. Two batters later, Sophomore Caleb Jones joined the hit parade with a two run shot to center field. The Cougars scored a total of seven runs in the inning. Hiram answered with five runs in the third, to cut the Cougar lead to 7-5. After Senior Frankie DeLuca and Senior Benny Dottle walked to start the fourth, Bredl preceded to hit another homerun, this time a three run shot making him the sole leader for homeruns in a season as a Chatham Cougar. The blast extended the Cougar lead to 10-5. In the fifth, the Cougars took advantage of some Hiram miscues and scored two runs. Caleb Jones finished the inning with an RBI single to right. The Terriers continued to claw back and not give up as they pushed three runs across themselves in the bottom half of the inning. In the sixth, the Chatham bats stayed hot. Tyler Cote singled down the left field line, scoring Eli Kelley. A few batters later, Bredl this time kept the ball in the park and hit a two-run double to left center to make the score 16-8 in favor of the Cougars. Chatham pushed three runs across in the seventh, and Hiram was able to avoid the mercy rule with a sixth-run seventh making the score 19-14. Neither team scored in the final two frames to make the final 19-14. 

Five Cougars recorded two hits in the contest: Caleb Jones (2-6, three RBI's, HR), Freshman Nolan Boehm (2-6), Freshman Eli Kelley (2-6), Junior Tyler Cote (2-4, three runs and RBI's), and Frankie DeLuca (2-3, three runs scored). 

Bredl entered the record books after he went 3-4 with two HR's (single season record five homeruns) and a single-game school record nine RBI's in the contest.

With the win, the Cougars move to 7-10 (0-2) and will look to bring the hot bats into PAC play Saturday as they host the Waynesburg Yellow Jackets. The games are slated for a 2 & 5 PM start.
