Andrew Herbert Eight Strikeouts Lift Eagles over Johnson in Game One

Waleska, GA - Reinhardt Baseball wins game one of three-game series with Johnson, 10-0 in seven innings with a great day on the mound from starting pitcher, Andrew Herbert.  Herbert recorded 8 strikeouts and only allowed 3 hits in his six innings of work.

The shutout let the Eagles' offense do what they do and get plenty of runs to secure the conference win.  The Eagles were led by Zach Rabe going 4 for 4 in the game and getting 2 RBIs. Alex Coulter homered in the fourth inning scoring Dawson Johns putting the Eagles up 5-0.

Tucker Zdunich doubled in the fourth on top of Coulter's home run, which scored Nash Crowell leaving the Eagles with a 6-0 lead going into the fifth.

Coulter also doubled in the fifth and was knocked in by a triple by Lance Dockery. Dockery put the ball over Johnson's center fielder's head and Dockery's quickness took him to third. After five, it was 9-0 Eagles and the game had the feeling that it was going to end at seven with the way Herbert was pitching. 

Parker Miller came in to pitch the seventh and did not allow a hit or run, which set up the final play of the game in the bottom of the seventh. With the bases loaded, Zach Rabe singled to left field which sent Will Underwood home for the final run of the game. 10-0 Eagles.

It was a great pitching performance by Andrew Herbert and Parker Miller and the offense continued to find their way to score runs. The same two teams will be back at Ken White Field tomorrow afternoon for a doubleheader beginning at 1 pm.
