Grinnell baseball team turns the tables on Central

GRINNELL, Iowa - What a difference a week can make.
 
After surrendering 13 runs and 11 hits at Central College in a loss last week, Grinnell College's baseball team rode a stellar pitching performance and key hitting to an 11-3 win over the Dutch Wednesday at Pioneer Park.
 
Alex Love '23 brought a no-hitter into the fifth inning and finished with the first pitching victory of his collegiate career. He gave up just two hits, one run and fanned four. Four other pitchers combined to throw four-hit ball the rest of the way.
 
Offensively, Grinnell (13-19) pounded out 14 hits including three from Matthew Inaba '22 and two each by Mac McCain '25, Sean Richardson '24, Shiva Bucklin '22 and Ethan Crawford '25.
 
Inaba's groundout plated a run in the second inning to give the Pioneers a lead they would never relinquish. They added five runs in the third frame on a two-run single by Inaba, run-scoring singles by McCain and Bucklin and an error.
 
Richardson reached on a fielder's choice to push across a run in the fourth, making it 7-0. Central (15-22) got a run in the fifth before Grinnell scored four times in the fifth. Richardson pushed across a run with a double, Crawford had a two-run single and Josh Fournier '24 added a sacrifice fly.
 
Grinnell jumps back into Midwest Conference play this weekend with three key games against Knox College.
