New Albany, Indiana

For lovers of offensive Baseball games, yesterday's game was a must see.  1st place Campbellsville traveled to Indiana University Southeast to play the Grenadiers in mid-week action and the bats were hot to say the least.  All the Tigers did was score 39 runs in the two games, and they used 41 hits to do so.  They won the first game in what looked like a Football score by a final of 21-7, and finished the two game sweep with an 18-3 victory.

The Tigers wasted no time to start roping the ball early and often.  In the first inning, Colin Bryan (San Jose, California) drew a lead off walk Tyler Derby (San Jose, California) singled to right.  Chris Curley (Ft. Mitchell, Kentucky) then came up with two runners on and blasted a 1-1 breaking ball over the scoreboard in left field to put the Tigers up 3-0.  Curley's day had just begun.

After putting up a four spot in the top of the first, IUS answered back with a run of their own in the bottom.  The Tigers however decided to one up their first inning performance and this time, put up five runs in the second inning.  Again, it was a Chris Curley homerun that capped the inning, but this time, it was a 3-2 fastball that Curley drove the other way.  Curley still wasn't finished.

With Campbellsville leading 14-7 in the sixth, they would put it away for good.  This time, to no surprise it was again Curley that blasted his third homerun of the game to cap the 6 run inning.  The final was 21-7.  Bryan Fuller picked up the win, tossing 2.2 scoreless innings in relief.

Game two had a similar theme, as the Tigers got going early and never looked back.  Freshman Justin Berman (Jupiter, Florida) took the mound in his first college start and tossed three solid innings.  Berman got more run support than he needed though as the Tigers this time provided 18 runs of support.  They were led by Brian Chase (San Jose, California) who was 4 for 5 with his 6th homerun of the year.

Both the offense and pitching are clicking on all cylinders right now, and it showed after these games.  As of right now, every starter in the Tiger lineup is batting over .300, with four players batting over .400.

Big hitters on the day included:

-Chris Curley (6 for 9, 3 HR, 11 RBI)

-Jimmy Voelker (6 for 8, 5 RBI, 5 R)

-Tyler Derby (4 for 5, RBI, 3 R)

-Brian Chase (6 for 10, HR, 5 RBI, 6 R)

-Alex Ponich (4 for 7, 5 RBI, 4 R)

On the game, Head Coach Beauford Sanders remarked, "In all my years of coaching, I'm not sure if I've ever seen a day with so much offense and it was all thanks to our good approaches at the plate."

The Tigers will look to carry their momentum into this weekend which will be their biggest series of the year so far.  They will take on The University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg in a four game series.  Campbellsville sits at 15-2 overall, 4-0 MSC...Which Cumberlands is 9-4-1 overall, and 4-0 in MSC play.
