Grinnell baseball team hitting its stride while extending win streak to 4 and giving coach 400th career victory

MOUNT VERNON, Iowa - As the regular season winds down, the Grinnell College baseball team is hitting its stride.

The Pioneers stretched their winning streak to four Tuesday night with a 10-8 victory over Cornell College. It was an especially memorable victory for coach Tim Hollibaugh, who reached the 400-win milestone with the decision. He is just the third Midwest Conference coach to reach that mark.

Grinnell (10-8, 10-8 MWC South Division) rapped out 14 hits, with Quinton McNitt '21 enjoying a four-hit performance and Jared Booth '21 adding three RBIs. Jake Hull '24 earned his first collegiate pitching win with a two-inning relief performance, and Simon Lane '23 got his first save.

The Rams (14-20, 11-9 MWC South) shot out to a 3-0 lead before the Pioneers exploded for five runs in the third. An error allowed the first run to score, Booth added a two-run double to right-center, Brock Weirather '21 had an RBI single to center and Zeke Taylor '21 plated a run with a double down the right-field line.

Cornell tied it at 5-all in the top of the fourth, but the Pioneers tacked on solo runs in the fourth and fifth on Booth's sacrifice fly to center and an RBI single to center by Evan Borberg '24.

After the Rams took an 8-7 lead, the Pioneers rallied again with three runs in the eighth. McNitt had an RBI double down the left-field line, Riley Guieb '21 scored on a passed ball and McNitt came across on a wild pitch.

The same two teams meet for a doubleheader Thursday in Mount Vernon, beginning at 4 p.m.
