Adrian baseball picked up a big early conference win over the Warsaw Wildcats on Tuesday, March 24.

The Blackhawks found themselves in an early hole as Warsaw struck first in the opening inning, taking a 1-0 lead. Adrian answered in the top of the third, plating a run of their own to tie the game. However, the Wildcats responded immediately in the bottom half of the inning, reclaiming control with a 4-1 advantage.

Warsaw added another run in the fourth, extending the lead to 5-1 — a margin that began to feel comfortable for the home team.

But Adrian had other plans.

The Blackhawks showed resilience in the late innings, beginning their push in the fifth. Hubbard delivered a key RBI single that brought in two runs, and just a few batters later, Underwood added a sacrifice fly to bring Hubbard home. After five innings, Adrian had trimmed the deficit to 6-4.

In the sixth, Adrian’s offense broke through in a big way. The Blackhawks put together a four-run inning to take their first lead of the game at 8-6.

That score would hold, as Adrian completed the comeback victory over their Ozark Highlands Conference opponent.

Kobe Enos led the way at the plate, going 3-for-5 with a triple and an RBI. Elijah Hubbard finished 2-for-5 and drove in a game-high four RBIs. Lile, Talley, and Vandenberg each added a hit for Adrian.
