MOUNT BERRY, Ga. – Parker Strader pitched a complete game shutout for the Greensboro College baseball team Saturday as they defeated the Vikings of Berry College 6-0.
Greensboro scored their first run of the contest in the fifth inning off of a
Hunter Curtis single before
Braxton Rupp extended the lead to 3-0 with a two-run home run in the sixth inning.
With the Pride holding on to the three-run lead, Greensboro stuck for the game's final three runs in the seventh inning.
Scotty McGuire had a RBI single to center field before Rupp and
Kendal Tucker both hit RBI sacrifice flies into left field.
In the bottom of the ninth, the Vikings got a runner on second base, but a great heads up defensive play by
Michael Garvey Jr. neutralized the threat before
Chance Bryant secured the final out on a softball ground ball to first base.
Bryant and
Jacob Rodriguez both finished with two hits on the evening, while five other players had one hit apiece. Strader finished the game with five strikeouts and only allowed four hits.
The Pride will wrap up the 2020 Rawlings Classic Sunday when they travel back to Oglethorpe University to take on the Petrels. For more information on Greensboro College baseball, continue to follow
