The Jonesville baseball team fought back from a late deficit to post a 9‑8 win over Centreville in the Division 3, Region 44 semifinal, earning a place in the regional championship game.
Key Performances
Senior pitcher Marshall Baker set the tone on the mound, limiting Centreville to three hits and two runs over four innings while also contributing a 2‑for‑3 effort at the plate with three runs, two RBIs, two doubles, a walk and two stolen bases. Junior Carson Young added two hits and a team‑high three RBIs, capping his performance with a walk‑off single in the bottom of the ninth.
A surge in the seventh inning, sparked by freshman Aiden Bolze‑Sweebe’s timely reach, ignited a rally that saw Talon Titus drive in two runs and put Jonesville ahead before Centreville answered with six runs to take an 8‑7 lead.
Looking Ahead
Freshman Connor Chenevare closed out the game, pitching the seventh, eighth and ninth innings and allowing only one earned run. The victory extends Jonesville’s postseason run, marking its first regional title game appearance since 2024.
Next up, Jonesville will meet Detroit Edison at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 6, at Plymouth Christian. The championship matchup promises a clash of experienced seniors and rising underclassmen, a blend that has defined the team’s recent success.
