Baseball Opens Season with 4-0 Record in Adam Donnenfield Tournament

Ryan Fesperman hit his second home run of the weekend, went 2-for-3, and pitched a scoreless inning in relief with three strikeouts as Brophy defeated Sunnyside 10-5. The Broncos finished the weekend with a perfect 4-0 mark in the Adam Donnenfield Preseason Tournament, the best start since 2015 when the Broncos opened 8-0. 
 
Brophy also defeated Mountain Ridge (5-0), Queen Creek (4-1), and Tucson High (4-1). 
 
Brophy was one of six teams in the tournament that were undefeated on the weekend, including Campo Verde (5-0), Desert Vista (5-0), Boulder Creek (4-0), Crismon (4-0), and Red Mountain.
 
Junior Dre Ethier (.462, 6 hits, 4 RBI), senior Issac Holder (.500, 5 RBI), and senior Ronan O’Brien (W, 5.0 IP, 0 R, 10 Ks), and juniors Grady Openden and Charlie Borchard both won their starts with scoreless starts and five strikeouts. 
 
The Brophy starting staff posted a 0.60 ERA over 15 innings, allowing just one earned run on six hits. 
 
The event featured 47 teams playing 99 games at 33 sites and honors the memory of former Brophy student Adam Donnenfield.
 
The Adam Donnenfield Preseason Tournament is one of the longest-lasting tournaments in Arizona. It was established by Brophy’s head baseball coach, Tom Succow, in 1992, with support from the Donnenfield family. As a freshman in 1988, Adam began his baseball career at Brophy and planned to attend Princeton following graduation in the spring of 1992, where he committed to play Ivy League baseball. Sadly, during his senior year in December 1991, Adam was killed in a car accident. We continue to honor Adam by hosting this tournament in his name.
