Baseball Falls to O'Connor, Teams to Play Again Saturday

The Brophy baseball team fell to Sandra Day O’Connor 2-1 in 10 innings in the AIA 6A Conference semifinals. The same two teams will meet tomorrow at Hohokam Stadium at 4 p.m., with the winner advancing to the State Championship. 

The Broncos scored first in the second inning, scoring on a wild pitch after loading the bases via singles by Brandon  Wirtz, a hit by a pitch, and a George Smith single. Brophy loaded the bases in the first three innings but managed just one run. It was the night's story as the Broncos let 17 runners on base.

Lafflam did not give up a hit until the fourth when Maselli tripled, but he was stranded. Brophy held the 1-0 lead until the seventh when O’Connor pushed across a run to force extra innings.

Jack Ohman pitched the extra innings for the Broncos, pitching out of situations in the eighth and ninth. But O’Connor scored a single run in the 10th and Brophy could not tie it despite putting two runners on base.
