Rochester Adams High School’s baseball squad fought back from an early deficit to post a 10‑4 victory over Brownstown Woodhaven in the MHSAA Division 1 semifinal, earning a berth in the state championship game.
The Highlanders’ offense exploded for 15 hits and drew five walks, a surge that was anchored by Dominic Dumitrescu and Johnny Safadi, who combined for multiple extra‑base hits and drove in key runs.
A Historic Opportunity
Coach Andrew Lamkin, who previously led the program from 1994 to 2003, praised the team’s resilience and highlighted the significance of returning to the title game for the first time since the 1995‑96 season.
The upcoming final will pit Adams against Novi Detroit Catholic Central, a matchup that could deliver the school’s first baseball championship in three decades.
Junior pitcher Brady Lindstrom delivered six efficient innings, limiting the opposition to a handful of runs while the offense continued to click.
The team’s recent stretch has included 27 runs across two games against Oxford and Woodhaven, underscoring a hot streak that has carried them through the quarterfinals and semifinals.
With the championship on the horizon, the Highlanders are poised to write a new chapter in their baseball legacy.
