GREENVILLE – The Greenville varsity baseball team upset the visiting Troy Trojans 4-3 in MVL action at Sater Heights Park after taking the lead late in the game.
“We played a good game defensively,” said Greenville coach, Adam Eberwein. “Not perfect but good enough to give ourselves a chance at the end.”
With the game tied at 1-1 with the Wave batting in the bottom of the fifth, Braeden Wills knocked a 3-2 count single plating a run.
Ricky Heidrich earned the win for Greenville going seven innings, allowing 3-runs on seven hits, striking out 8 Troy Trojans without walking a batter.
“It all starts with good pitching,” said Greenville coach, Adam Eberwein. “Ricky did a fantastic job hitting his locations and changing speeds.”
“We preach to our pitchers that walked batters turn into runs scored,” Eberwein continued. “Ricky had zero walks, hit two batters late in the game which turned into runs.”
Lance Greer was 1-3 with 2-RBIs and a run scored; Braeden Wills went 1-2 with a walk, a RBI and a run; Heidrich went 1-2 with 2-walks and a run; Jackson Eberwein was 1-2 with a run; Owen Mcgreevey went 1-3 with a run; AJ Shaffer had 2-walks and Ty Bush had a walk.
“We didn’t have a lot of hits but the ones we did have were quality, timely hits with runners in scoring position,” Coach Eberwein stated.
