BREMEN — Constant chatter from the dugout ensured Bremen baseball never quit when they hosted Class 1A No. 2 Triton Tuesday, May 5.
Even when the Lions went down 2-0 in the top of the first inning thanks to a two-RBI single from Trojans sophomore Max Johnson, Bremen responded two innings later with two runs of its own.
When Triton reclaimed a one-run lead in the top of the fourth, the Lions fired back with five of their own across the next two frames. When the Trojans threatened with three runs in the top of the sixth inning, junior starting pitcher Casey Ton stayed on the mound for the seventh to finish his complete game and clinch a 7-6 upset victory for the Lions.
It meant that extra bit more less than 24 hours removed from a 12-8 loss vs. La Porte. Bremen hasn’t won an IHSAA Class 2A sectional championship since 2023, so a 10-2 start to the season is encouraging for upperclassmen like Ton.
“It’s been a rough going the last few years; we’ve gotten up in the win column, but we’ve never been where we want to be,” Ton said. “This year, it’s a great team, a great energy throughout the dugout. All those wins in the past don’t mean anything to us now, it’s just winning the [Indiana Northern State] Conference, winning sectionals and just keep going.”

When sophomore left fielder JJ Cencelewski made the catch for the final out, Ton exhaled a sigh of relief. With Cencelewski and senior Corbin Van Vuren behind him in the outfield every time he toes the rubber, Ton has full confidence that he can challenge the opposing squad with pitches in the zone.
He walked just two batters and struck out three, only throwing 87 pitches. Ton allowed eight hits and four earned runs, which he said never bothers him as it would many other pitchers. He’s confident in the lineup’s ability to outscore the other team, and the only statistic Ton cares about is wins.
That mentality, head coach Aaron Perch said, extends to the Lions’ eight seniors, who know the 2026 season is their last chance to have state tournament success before they hang up the high school cleats.
“I don’t think there’s anybody in the dugout who thinks they’re above another guy,” Perch said. “Everybody’s pulling the rope together in the same direction … It might not always be pretty, but we’re going to get it done.”
