Baseball falls in high scoring battle with No. 20 North Greenville

TIGERVILLE, S.C. – The Lander baseball team battled the No. 20 North Greenville Crusaders tough on the road Tuesday evening, with the Bearcats falling 17-11.

Lander drops to 15-15 overall while North Greenville moves to 27-5.

Ethan Wilder led the Bearcats in hits with three and RBI with four against the Crusaders. Connor Droze joined Wilder with three RBI, as the pair both hit home runs.

Lander was held scoreless until the top of the fourth where it would unload nine runs on the Crusaders.

Down 4-0 heading into the fourth, Lander would start the inning with a Chase Doughtery walk. Dougherty wouldn't stay there long, as Wilder smashed a triple to center field to score Dougherty for the Bearcat's first run. Gary Garrett would strike out swinging but would reach base on a wild pitch which allowed Wilder to come home for the second run of the inning. With the bases loaded, Landon Dupert hit into a fielder's choice that saw no one out after a throwing error from the Crusader's first baseman. Garrett and Matthew Burgess would score on the play to bring Lander even with North Greenville. The very next at-bat would see Droze bash a home run over the right-field fence to score three and put Lander up 7-4. The Bearcats would plate two more runs, as Wilder would smash a two-run bomb to center field and give Lander a 9-4 edge.

North Greenville would respond with four runs in the bottom of the inning to cut the lead to a single run.

The Crusaders would then plate a run in the fifth to tie the game at 9-9.

Lander would score two runs in the top of the sixth on a pair of fielder's choices hit by Wilder and Tyler Prell.

North Greenville would respond with five runs in the bottom of the sixth before scoring a run in the seventh and two in the eighth to take their 17-11 win.

Michael Nastro got the start against the Crusaders and went two innings. Nastro allowed three runs, all earned, on five hits while striking out two. Zach Pellegrino was awarded the loss after pitching two innings and allowed four runs, all earned, on five hits. Garrett Major, Drew Luckey, Tyler Bowen and Gage Smith all saw relief appearances as well.

The Bearcats make their way to Due West, S.C., as they battle the Flying Fleet of Erskine College Wednesday for a 2 pm start.
