WARREN, Pa. – Cole Constable and Luke Costello both hit 2-run home runs as Prep scored seven runs in the second inning and eight in the fifth to improve to 15-0 with a 19-1, 5-inning win over Warren. 

Rewatch the Game:

Costello finished 2-for-4 with four RBIs and was named Allegheny Grille of Foxburg Player of the Game.

“We’ve built such a strong camaraderie,” Costello said. “The things that we do off the field transfer to on the field. I think that’s the biggest thing for us. We preach the little things. That’s what we do off the field and it translates in the games.”

               

See Costello’s full interview:

The Ramblers had 10 hits and took advantage of five errors and eight walks issued by Dragon pitching.
