Vero Beach 3, Alonso 1
Alonso junior Sehjin Daley singled in Andrew Lara (1-for-3, stolen base) in the first inning to give the Ravens the lead, but it wouldn’t hold as Vero Beach tied the game and then scored a pair of runs in the fifth – one on a bases loaded hit-by-pitch and the second on a ground ball. Junior Sam Drumheller pitched five innings losing his first game of the season, but ends the year with a 6-1 record. Senior Conor McNair was 1-for-2 in the loss and sophomore Renzo Gonzalez picked up a single to end the season on a six-game hitting streak, with a .376 average on the year. For the Indians, senior righty Nick Celidonio pitched a complete-game, striking out six. Vero Beach will travel across the state to face Newsome, winners 3-1 against Port St. Lucie Treasure Coast on Wednesday, in Saturday’s region semifinal.
