CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. – A day that started with 10 members of the Campbellsville baseball team being honored for playing their final games at home in their career ended about seven hours later with Georgetown sweeping the series with two wins on Saturday.
 
Game one was a 6-3 win for GC in the nine-inning affair and seven-inning game two of the day, game three of the series, went even longer than nine innings as Georgetown won 5-4 in 11 innings.
 
CU jumped out to a lead in both games with a run in the bottom of the first in game one and a four-run second inning in game two. Both games were eventually tied on home runs off the bat of Georgetown center fielder Val Stammler, who hit three home runs on the day and four total in the three-game series.
 
Stammler's game two home run went out to right field and came in the four-run top of the sixth for GC as he followed a Nick Giambalvo three-run shot earlier in the inning that made it a 4-3 game. His two solo home runs in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader both went to left center field, tying the game at 1-1 in the top of the second then extending their lead to 6-3 in the top of the eighth.
 
Failure to drive in runners was what hurt Campbellsville on the day as a whole as they left a total of 20 runners on base over the 20 innings of baseball on Saturday. It stuck out huge in the bottom of the eighth in game two as CU had runners on second and third with no outs but a groundout, a strikeout, and another groundout kept the winning run off the board allowing Georgetown to stick around and eventually win in 11.
 
Three CU batters had multi-hit games on the day with Tyson Solis and Brandon Douglas each going 2-for-4 in game one and Tony Fonzo recording two of the four total hits for Campbellsville in game two.
 
The Campbellsville pitchers that threw in game two pitched pretty well as Marco Murillo went 5.2 innings with the start allowing those four runs on the home runs but it was Malcom Grady and Gage O'Brien in relief that were particularly outstanding.
 
Grady went 3.1 innings of scoreless ball keeping the score at 4-4, continuing to give Campbellsville a chance to win. Then O'Brien entered and didn't allow a hit to allow the fifth run to score in the 11^th after an error on a ball hit by Stammler to lead off the inning.
 
Georgetown's standout on the mound was Keon Taylor, who pitched in both games to earn both a save and a win on the day. Taylor got a two-inning save in game one as he only allowed three hits over the two innings to close out the 6-3 win. Then he came back in game two to pitch 4.2 innings scoreless allowing only a single hit and striking out five.
 
These two teams will match right back up next Thursday in Bowling Green, Ky. in the opening round of the Mid-South Conference Tournament with Georgetown clinching the No. 2 seed with the series win this weekend.
