The Breakdown
Game 1: L (20-6) – 9 Innings
  • Purdue Northwest recorded 10 hits on 38 at-bats but was unable to keep pace with Parkside's offensive output, which totaled 20 runs on 16 hits. The Pride did not commit an error, while Parkside finished with three defensive miscues.
  • Brayden Barrett (Chesterton, Ind./Chesterton) and Joey Guiliano (Plainfield, Ill./Plainfield North) each tallied hits at the top of the lineup, helping set the tone offensively. Billy Chidsey (Crown Point, Ind./Crown Point) and Drew Kosteba (St. John, Ind./Lake Central) contributed multi-hit efforts, combining for several of the Pride's 10 total hits. Brett Bounds (Morris, Ill./Morris Community) and Nathan Koster (Mount Pleasant, Mich./Mount Pleasant) also added hits, while Jax Kalemba (Chicago, Ill./Andrean) and Gabe Bush (Valparaiso, Ind./Valparaiso) rounded out the offensive production.
  • The Pride finished with six runs on 10 hits, but stranded multiple runners throughout the game, limiting their ability to close the gap despite consistent contact at the plate.
  • On the mound, Owen Walkowiak (Crown Point, Ind./Andrean) started for Purdue Northwest before the bullpen was heavily utilized, with Joey DalPonte (Homer Glen, Ill./Lockport), Mitchell Stanton (South Chicago Heights, Ill./Marian Catholic), Dylan Letke (Fremont, Calif./Washington), Ethan Plym (Seatonville, Ill./Hall), and Merek Klicker (Morris, Ill./Morris Community) all seeing action. The Pride pitching staff allowed 16 hits and 20 runs, with Parkside capitalizing on scoring opportunities in nearly every inning.
  • Parkside's offense was led by Angel Rades and John St. Clair at the top of the order, setting the tone early. The Rangers compiled 20 runs with consistent production across the lineup, including 14 RBIs and multiple extra-base hits.
  • Parkside broke the game open with several big innings, including a five-run fifth inning, an eight-run sixth inning, and a four-run seventh inning. Those three frames accounted for 17 of their 20 total runs, putting the game out of reach.
  • Despite trailing early, the Pride continued to compete offensively and managed to push across runs in multiple innings, finishing with six total runs on the day. However, they were unable to slow Parkside's momentum as the Rangers continued to add on late.
