2025 Brewers Go Back-to-Back, Capture Blue Ridge MSBL Title
Blue Ridge Men’s Baseball League
Charlottesville Brewers 6, Culpepper Senators 5 (10 innings)
The Charlottesville Brewers made history this season, clinching their second straight Blue Ridge Men’s Senior Baseball League Championship after a thrilling extra-inning win over the Culpeper Senators.
The Brewers, led by team captain Jeremy Hafer, dominated the 2025 campaign with a 15-1-1 record, their best season in franchise history. Hafer was a force at the plate all year, finishing with a .576 batting average and a 1.370 OPS, earning the respect of his teammates and being named captain by player vote.
“We just trusted each other every game,” Hafer said. “Everyone knew their role, and we played for each other—not for the stats.”
The Brewers’ lone loss came in the final game of the regular season, long after they had already locked up the league’s top seed. Blending the experience of seasoned veterans with the spark of several new additions, the Brewers built a roster that balanced power, defense, and leadership.
Manager Anthony Remijan credited the team’s chemistry as the key to their success.
“From day one, this group had a collective goal: to repeat,” Remijan said. “The veterans set the tone, and the new players fit right in. It was the most complete team we’ve ever had.”
The championship game tested every ounce of that resolve. Culpeper jumped out to an early lead and held it through most of the contest, forcing the Brewers to claw back inning by inning. The game stretched into extra innings, becoming a battle of grit and endurance.
In the bottom of the 10th, with the Brewers trailing 5–4 and men on 2nd and 3rd, Kyle Wolfe stepped to the plate and delivered the moment of the season—a sharp single to right field with a drawn in infield that brought home Brady Blaha from second with the winning run.
“That was pure joy,” Wolfe said. “We were all running on fumes, but nobody was quitting. To win it like that—it was everything we worked for.”
For the Brewers, the repeat championship was more than just another trophy—it was a reflection of a culture built on trust, effort, and camaraderie.
“This team plays for each other,” Remijan said. “That’s what makes them special.”
