Cleveland, GA - Reinhardt Baseball won the deciding game three of the away weekend series against Truett McConnell. The Eagles won convincingly 10-2 against the Bears and added another win to their AAC record.
Reinhardt got their offense going in this game with four home runs total. Tucker Zdunich got it started in the third inning with a bomb that scored Dylan Lewis. Later, Lewis homered in the sixth inning which was a solo shot. Lewis' homer keeps in a slight team lead over Zdunich and Dockery by one home run.
Later, third baseman Jarrett Burney homered (first of the year) in the next inning scoring Adrian Vargas who was on base. Last, Lance Dockery solo homered in the top of the ninth to add the 10th run of the game for the Eagles.
Reinhardt always scored runs in the third and fifth innings with singles from Burney and Patrick Doyle. The run production was great for the team and gave the pitchers a chance to not be in a tight game.
Defensively, the Eagles threw out three great pitchers to get the pivotal third game. Hunter Paulsen got the start and pitched 4.1 innings striking out 2 Bears and only allowing the two runs. One run was in the first and the other was in the fifth, however, those runs did not threaten the lead that the Eagles produced in the game.
Ben Medley, who is coming off a good outing in the previous games - pitched another good 2.2 innings where he only allowed one hit and zero runs, but he recorded one strikeout. Cobey Allison pitched the final two innings of the game and did not have a hit or run against him. He also recorded two strikeouts in his time on the mound.
