Dublin Jerome High School, May 10, 2025: On a warm day in May, we gathered for our annual Dublin Classic to renew some rivalries and help raise money for cancer research.
Game 1 Recap – Scioto vs. Jerome
Avery Reynolds delivered a commanding performance in the circle to lead the Irish past the Celtics, 5-2, in Saturday’s opening matchup at the Dublin Classic. The Scioto ace struck out 14 and allowed just two runs on six hits in a complete game effort, walking only one.
The Irish jumped ahead in the top of the first when Sophia Jackson grounded out, bringing home two early runs. The momentum continued in the third inning, with Alexis Richie lacing a double to left field to score one, followed by a Jackson RBI single down the right field line.
