Burbank, IL (April 25, 2011) - The Rams improved their conference record to 7-2 with a convincing win over the Shepard Astros 9-4 today. The game was called after the fifth inning due to darkness.
After falling behind 1-0, Reavis scored three runs in the bottom of the second inning on hits by Alex Morales and David Beltran and RBI's by Cameron Koepke and Garret Rhodes. After the Astros added a run off pitcher Rhodes (5 IP; 3 ER; 7 K) in the third inning and two more in the fourth, the Rams answered with six runs in the final two innings. Javorski, Mike Falbo, Stano, Morales, and Brandon Hines each collected a hit during the rallies.
Former Reavis baseball player Brian Brost threw out the ceremonial first pitch of the game. Brost, a graduate of 1964, was a two-time Reavis baseball MVP (1963 & 64).
The Rams (10-7) travel to Palos Heights Tuesday to take on the Astros.
