Bremen baseball makes a statement with win over No. 2 (1A) Triton

BREMEN — Constant chatter from the dugout ensured Bremen baseball never quit when they hosted Class 1A No. 2 Triton Tuesday, May 5. Even when the Lions went down 2-0 in the top of the first inning thanks to a two-RBI single from Trojans sophomore Max Johnson, Bremen responded two innings later with two runs of its own.

When Triton reclaimed a one-run lead in the top of the fourth, the Lions fired back with five of their own across the next two frames. When the Trojans threatened with three runs in the top of the sixth inning, junior starting pitcher Casey Ton stayed on the mound for the seventh to finish his complete game and clinch a 7-6 upset victory for the Lions. It meant that extra bit more less than 24 hours removed from a 12-8 loss vs.

La Porte. Bremen hasn’t won an IHSAA Class 2A sectional championship since 2023, so a 10-2 start to the season is encouraging for upperclassmen like Ton. “It’s been a rough going the last few years; we’ve gotten up in the win column, but we’ve never been where we want to be,” Ton said.

“This year, it’s a great team, a great energy throughout the dugout. All those wins in the past don’t mean anything to us now, it’s just winning the [Indiana Northern State] Conference, winning sectionals and just keep going. ” More: Vote in the April 27-May 2 South Bend Tribune Athlete of the Week poll More: Who is the top area prep softball squad?
