WINTER HAVEN, Fla. -
Andrew Shults '19 rapped out three hits and
Sam Galanek '18 a pair, but it wasn't enough as Grinnell College's baseball team saw Elmhurst College rally for a 4-3 victory Thursday.
Shults and
Michael Slattery '18 each had doubles among their totals, while
Nathan Zaroban '18 tripled.
Thompson Rick '21, Grinnell's starting pitcher, fanned seven batters in five innings. He was relieved by
Ryan Chang '21, the pitcher of record, who struck out three.
Grinnell scored in the top of the first inning when Shults doubled and moved up two bases on wild pitches.
Elmhurst tied it in the bottom of the first, but Grinnell went up 3-1 in the second when Slattery doubled,
Benjamin Wong '18 walked and Zaroban belted a two-run triple.
The score remained the same until Elmhurst scored three runs in the sixth inning.
Grinnell, 1-7, is off until Saturday when it plays a doubleheader against Worcester State University.
