Key Moments:
Both starters in Ezra Gandy (McEachern) and Gavin Dykes (McIntosh) were up for the task as it was scoreless going to the 7th. The game would head into the bottom of the 7th at 0-0 and Alijah Asad kickstarted a rally as he roped a double in the left-centerfield gap. Adrien Islas kept things rolling as he added a single to make it runners at the corners. Makai Johnson put together a good at-bat as he worked a walk. Then Kyrun Walker-Smith was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded for the walk-off win.

Avery’s Takeaway:
This was a pitchers duel as both offenses could seem to get nothing going, but McEachern was able to claw their way to a victory. Ezra Gandy pounded the zone as he induced weak contact all night long and is one of the staples in this rotation for Coach Autry and staff. The lineup for the Indians is upperclass heavy and anyone 1-9 on a nightly basis could beat you. For McIntosh it was good to see them compete in a tough loss, but the talent for the years to come is clear to see. 4 freshmen start on this club as they bat 1,2,4, and 5 in the order. Mixing in upperclass talent as well with names like Jackson Heeb who is a fixture in the heart of the order while providing an impact glove at catcher. This will be two teams to watch down the stretch as we hope to see them again this Spring.

St. Pius X @ Marist

Score: Marist win, 6-5

Standouts:

Martin Shelar, OF, 2026, Marist

Lucky #13 on April Fool’s Day.

2026 OF Martin Shelar extending his 🍑state-lead with his 13th HR in 21 games.

Andrew Biggers, 1B, 2028, St. Pius X

2028 1B Andrew Biggers took some physical swings throughout the night.

Syncs up well with a flat path through the zone that’s backed by easy bat speed and strength in the frame.

Smashes this to the pull-side for the 2-run knock. @StPiusXBaseball || #GAHS26 pic.twitter.com/hn9UISEpGj

Roshan Bullard, RHP/3B, 2026, Marist

Huge innings from 2026 RHP Roshan Bullard as he locked down a huge region win.

Attacked with the full mix while generating in-zone whiffs.

FB: 85-87 T88
SL: 75-77; Sharp
CB: 70-73
CH: 82@TuftsBaseball commit.@Marist_Baseball || #GAHS26 pic.twitter.com/X4rWmk1A4P

Key Moments: St. Pius X would come out hot and plate 4 runs in the top for the 1st with Andrew Biggers coming through with a big 2-run knock as well as Grayson Granberry who added an RBI 1B as well. Marist would instantly chip away thanks to a Martin Shelar RBI 2B and Jack Simmons sac fly would cut the lead in half. Both teams would trade runs in the 2nd with Easton Bailey coming through for St. Pius and Luc Roma for the War Eagle. The big inning for Marist came in the 4th, scoring 3 runs thanks to a laser beam HR from Shelar alongside Carson Walker and Simmons adding RBIs. Roshan Bullard with 3.0 scoreless IP out of the pen was ultimately the deciding factor on the night.

Ian’s Takeaway: The battle for this region gets even tighter now with both teams sitting tied for 1st at 9-1 after splitting the series. This was a big win for the War Eagles to get over .500 for the year while getting into first in region at the right time. Martin Shelar has been the difference maker all spring and had another 3-for-3 night while extending his state-lead in HR. Anthony Agah has become a real factor in the leadoff spot and earning experience that will be vital for this stretch run. The upperclass depth for Marist was inexperienced coming into the spring but jelling at the right time with Sean Walsh, Luc Roma, among others coming through on a nightly basis. St. Pius X has a tough upcoming schedule surrounding their last two region series and will be battle tested for what looks like another playoff run for the Golden Lions. Two region series remain for both teams, and will be very interesting to see how it plays out over the next two weeks.
