Bell claims City Section Open Division baseball title over Birmingham

BY ERIC SONDHEIMER

Sophomore Jayden Rojas, embracing the pressure and significance of pitching on his field of dreams, threw six shutout innings. His most impressive moment came in the sixth inning when Birmingham loaded the bases with none out on a hit batter, error and bunt single. Rojas escaped by getting a strikeout on a 3-and-2 pitch and two fly-ball outs. As he walked off the mound, he was surrounded by pumped-up teammates and fans were chanting, “M-V-P, M-V-P, M-V-P.”
