“It was 1-1 in the bottom of the fifth and they hit a two-run double,” G-A coach Eric Shaner said. “So we’re down 3-1 and I let them have it before we batted in the sixth. I told them to tone down their swings and show better discipline. And they went out and scored eight runs.”

Darren Kline led off with a single, and after an out, Logan Shifflett doubled. Jarek Szaflarski’s base hit to right brought in the first run, then Austin Wyand hit a single up the middle to tie the score.

Briggs Remenick doubled to left-center to give Greencastle (4-3, 3-3 MPC) the lead, then Carter Reid pounded on a hanging curve and blasted a three-run home run to make it 7-3.

An Ethan Ford walk, a stolen base by Lance Overcash and a base hit by Aidan Grudzinski added a run, then an error and a single by Carter McCauley finished off the big rally.

Landon Huth earned the win (6.1 innings, 7 hits, 1 walk, 7 strikeouts). Reid was 3-for-4 with a walk, and Ford, Grudzinski, Kline and McCauley each had a pair of hits.
