Bay High School Rockets Fall Narrowly to Westlake Demons in Extended Baseball Finale

In a tightly contested and prolonged varsity baseball game on May 20, 2025, the Bay High School Rockets hosted the Westlake Demons at their home field as part of a rescheduled game originally interrupted by April rains. This important regular season encounter unfolded under cloudy and windy conditions which evolved into slight rain, setting a dramatic montage for this day-long event.

The Bay Rockets, powered by the resilient pitching of Andrew Liatti and Ethan Sedivec, held the Westlake Demons at bay through 13 grueling innings. Liatti, wearing #9, showcased a formidable performance over 8 innings, allowing just one hit and no earned runs, while striking out 4. Ethan Sedivec took up the mantle thereafter, scattering 4 hits across 5 innings and earning one run against him. Together, they carved through the Demons’ lineup, keeping them off balance for much of the game.

Offensively, Bay struggled to convert opportunities into runs, with Andrew Liatti also marking his influence here by scoring the lone run for the Rockets. Jack McManamon was pivotal in turning one of those chances into a score, batting in the crucial run for Bay. Despite these efforts, the Rockets concluded the day on the short end of a 2-1 scoreline, with victory marginally eluding them as the Westlake Demons secured the win.

Looking ahead, the Rockets are set to face Woodridge on May 22, 2025, and they aim to leverage insights and momentum from this intense and detailed matchup to alter their current season record of 8-15.
