BRODHEAD — After losing 3-2 on a walk-off to Evansville on Friday, April 14, Brodhead-Juda sought revenge against the Blue Devils and earned a 12-2 win on Friday, April 21.

Evansville tied the game at two with an RBI double from Max Kurth in the top of the third. Brodhead-Juda responded immediately, plating four runs in the bottom half of the frame.

Aidyn Vondra led off with a triple to center, and Gabe Bockhop drove him in with an RBI single. Ryan Searls kept the offense rolling with a single, followed by a three-run home run by David Masloske to give the Cardinals a 6-2 lead.

After a scoreless fourth inning by both teams, Brodhead-Juda put up six runs in the bottom of the fifth to enforce the mercy rule.

Evansville pitcher Brad Bartz walked three consecutive batters then hit the next two to bring in two runs. Another bases-loaded walk gave the Cardinals a 9-2 lead.
