Tigers control Grenadiers

Georgetown College baseball continues to do the little things that make big wins possible. The No. 21 Tigers (31-10) picked up an out of conference win against a strong Indiana University Southeast team Wednesday night, 5-1.

Chris Gilbody and Ryan Gaynor, top two hitters in the batting rotation, kept the home team rolling with three hits each. Joseph Wall ran in place of Gilbody and scored twice, while Gaynor had two RBI and two runs scored.

Tyler Wagner, Zack Stack and Shota Usuda all had one hit each, while Wagner and Val Stammler drove in runs and Eric Thrower scored a run.

Kyle Fieger had a brilliant performance on the mound. He threw 81 pitches over seven innings for the win, scattering six hits and allowing no earned runs. The junior worked out of two on and no outs with only one unearned run scoring as well as a bases loaded with two outs situation with no runs scored.

The right hander had three strikeouts with 11 fly outs and a pair of ground outs. Brandon Krennrich came on for the save in the final two innings. He had one strikeout and scattered three hits for his second save of the season.

Following a one, two, three top of the first, Gilbody got it started with a single. Wall moved to third on Gaynor's double and scored on Stammler's ground out.

The Tigers notched the winning run in the third when Gaynor reached by being hit by a pitch. He worked his way around until he scored on Wagner's single.

IUS responded in the top of the fourth by getting its first two hitters aboard safely. A sacrifice bunt worked them into scoring position and a sacrifice fly scored the lone Grenadier run.

Georgetown responded back in the bottom of fifth when Gilbody led off with a triple. Wall scored on Gaynor's single. The Tigers added two more insurance runs in the seventh leading Krennrich sealing the deal from the mound.

GC is back in action Friday and Saturday hosting Shawnee State University in a three-game series on Senior Weekend. Friday starts at 6 pm and Saturday is a doubleheader with the first pitch set for 1 pm.
