It was an underclassman who stole the show on Saturday as RJ Soika came into the match with something to prove. Crestwood had no answer to Soika as he tossed six innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits.
Soika's strong effort led Rootstown over Crestwood and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. Rootstown is 9-1 against Crestwood going back to April of 2017, a lead they'll look to extend.
