Warrenton beat St. Charles West 2-1 at Larry Lukey Memorial Field, overcoming a tie game and taking a one-game series lead after two days of rivalry play.
Warrenton opened the scoring in the first inning when Austin Haas reached on a hit by pitch, stole second and third, and Carter Martin’s groundout drove Haas home for the early run. St. Charles West tied the game in the fourth when Bridal Anderson produced an RBI that scored a runner and made it 1-1.

Jake Kirkpatrick started on the mound for Warrenton and worked through six innings; Colin D. Sylvester entered later and recorded the final out to preserve the victory.
The game featured strong pitching and defense on both sides. Kirkpatrick pitched to contact and relied on consistent infield play, while St. Charles West’s Bridal Gehring (listed in the broadcast as an all-state pitcher) worked deep into the game and recorded multiple strikeouts. Key defensive plays included a running backhand catch and throw by Andrew Vocal that cut down a runner at the plate in the sixth inning and a diving stop by Colin D. Sylvester earlier in the contest.
Broadcast commentators named Austin Haas as the player credited with the decisive RBI for Warrenton and identified Bridal Anderson as St. Charles West’s standout performer over the two-day stretch (the broadcast noted Anderson’s pitching performance the previous day and his offensive contribution in this game).
