HS Baseball: Monticello Rolls Maroa-Forsyth

Cole Basak, Colton Vance, and Ike Young all went yard, leading Monticello to a 12-3 win in non-conference high school baseball action on Monday in Forsyth.

 

The Sages jumped out to a 2-0 lead on an Eli Craft RBI single. Eric Arnold, Saturday's hero with the walk-off hit against Williamsville, hit a sac-fly to make it 2-0. 

Grady Rose and Camden Trendler hit back-to-back run-scoring singles in the Trojans' half of the first to tie the game at 2-2. 

 

But it was all Sages after that.

 

Eli Craft hit a two-run double in the top of the third inning to put Monticello ahead 4-2. Two batters later, Vance connected for a two-run shot to left. 

 

Cayden Rose hit a sac-fly in the bottom of the third to get Maroa-Forsyth within 4-3. 

 

Basak homered to start the fourth inning to make it 5-3, Monticello. A sac-fly from Craft and a balk scored two more for Monticello in the inning to go up 7-3. 

 

Young's three-run homer to left in the seventh broke the game open to make it 10-3. 

 

Craft paced Monticello, going 2-for-4 with four RBIs and two doubles. Dawson Gaitros was 2-for-3 with three runs scored at the top of the order for the Sages. Carter Foran was 2-for-4 with two runs scored. 

 

Grady Rose and Trendler each went 2-for-4 with an RBI for the Trojans. 

 

Foran fired four innings of three-run ball for Monticello. Matthias Rudolph closed it out with three innings of scoreless relief.

 

Maroa-Forsyth is 11-5 overall. They host Williamsville on Tuesday. 

 

Monticello improves to 14-3 overall. They will take on Salt Fork on Wednesday.
