Greencastle takes two more off Cloverdale; Tiger Cubs sweep Northview on tennis courts
Greencastle followed up its win at the Putnam County Baseball Tournament with another run-rule win over Cloverdale Tuesday.
Nathan Sutherlin drove in the first run of the game with a groundout to bring Chase Carrington home in the first inning while Jaylon Bushong got the scoring going in the second inning with a single to plate Trevin Long.
Carrington forced in a run after being hit by a pitch with the bases loaded while Sam Gooch kept things moving with a single to score Connor Sullivan and Sutherlin added two more RBI with a single to make it 6-0, though the hosts left the bases loaded after a double steal went awry and a fly out ended the inning.
Greencastle would leave the bases loaded again in the third, only getting one run on a Carrington single.
Clark tripled to start the fourth and scored on the same play after an error on the relay before the Tiger Cubs loaded the bases again.
Two wild pitches allowed two runs to score while singles from Owen Huff and Gooch plated two more runs to put the finishing touches on the game.
Clark pitched all five innings in the win, allowing three hits and striking out 10. Landon Duncan took the loss for the Clovers, pitching three innings, allowing nine hits, 11 runs, eight earned, and five walks while striking out three.

A pair of home runs from Grace Gray and a Tara Gruca blast helped to plate five runs for the visitors, who scored five runs in the fourth to make it 9-0 but needed a sixth inning, where they scored three runs, to get the job done.
