GC baseball team falls victim to late surge by Centre

PENSACOLA, Fla. - Grinnell College held Centre College at bay for a good portion of Wednesday's baseball game before the Colonels put together a big eighth inning to pull away for a 13-5 victory.
 
Both teams had 10 hits, with Sean Richardson '24, Luke Porter '23 and Ian Brown '24 getting two each for Grinnell.
 
Grinnell (2-6) jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second inning when Brown blasted a solo homer and Jonathan Gottlieb '22 plated Jack Gillespie '24 with an RBI double.
 
Centre (10-11) took a brief lead with three runs in the top of the third, only to see the Pioneers come back with a trio in the bottom of the third. Porter hit a two-run single that scored Richardson and Nate L'Esperance '23, while Michael Flaherty '25 hit a sacrifice fly to score Porter.
 
The Colonels added a solo run in the fifth and two in the sixth to go ahead 6-5. It remained close until Centre put up five runs in the eighth and two in the ninth.
 
Jake Hull '24, the second of five Pioneer pitchers, absorbed the loss.
 
Grinnell concludes its spring break trip Thursday with a contest against nationally-ranked University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
