CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. – Following the double-header split, the Campbellsville Tigers played their final regular-season game against the Lindsey Wilson Blue Raiders. With the conference tournament next week, the Tigers looked to finish strong and take the series. The Tigers got the job done in immaculate fashion, winning the season finale 21-3.

​Toeing the rubber for the Tigers was Chase Tucker, making his fifth start and 15th appearance of the season. In the top of the first inning, Tucker retired the leadoff man and then plunked the next batter. It was no matter for the righty, as he worked a 4-6-3 double play to bring up the Tigers' offense.

​Zane Skansi led off for the Tigers in the bottom of the first and set the tone with a single up the middle. Tate Wischnack grounded into a fielder's choice to replace Skansi at first base and quickly stole second base. Yosuke Fujie followed up with a walk, and then Antony Gilbert singled to right field, bringing home Wischnack and moving Fujie to third base. Lorenzo Gonzalez reached on an error that plated Fujie and moved Gilbert into scoring position. Looking to keep adding on, Tanner Park clutched up with a double to dead-centerfield that brought Gilbert home and advanced Gonzalez to third base. The Tigers wound up stranding both runners, but the early damage was done.

​Tucker continued on the mound for the Tigers in the top of the second inning and surrendered a leadoff double. The next batter reached on an infield single to shortstop, and then a big double play allowed the Blue Raiders to plate their first run. Tucker finished off the last batter without allowing further damage.

​With the bats red hot, Jackson Grubbs led off the bottom of the second inning with a single that smoked the pitcher. Skansi stepped up to the plate and cracked a long homerun to centerfield for his 11th of the season. Wischnack followed up with an infield single to shortstop and then advanced to second base on a wild pitch. Fujie drew a walk, and then the Tigers executed a double-steal to take away the double play. Gilbert walked to load the bases, and then Gonzalez reached on an infield single that plated Wischnack. After the Blue Raiders collected the first out, Henry Wright drew a walk to bring home Fujie. Trent Buchanan collected his first hit with a single to center field that brought home Gilbert, capping off a huge five-spot for the offense.

​Tucker continued on the mound in the top of the third inning and surrendered another leadoff double. The righty retired the next batter with ease, and then a passed ball allowed the runner to advance to third base. The Blue Raiders made it hurt with a single up the middle that plated their second run of the game. The runner on first base stole second, and then a double to left center cashed in the third and final run of the game for the Blue Raiders. The next batter singled to put runners at the corners, and then a walk loaded the bases. Tucker bared down and got a ground ball to third base that got the out at home, and then finished the inning with a big strikeout.

In the bottom of the third inning, Wischnack led off and reached on an error, and then Fujie moved him over with a single to right field. Looking to do some damage, Gilbert demolished a no-doubt bomb to leftfield for his fourth homer of the season. Park found his way on with a one-out walk, and then Wright replaced him at first base after reaching on a fielder's choice. Wright easily stole second base, then advanced to third on a passed ball. Buchanan stepped up to the plate in his final regular-season at-bat and unloaded on a laser beam homerun to left-center for his first long ball of the season. Grubbs worked a two-out walk to follow but was left stranded.

​PJ Ledesma took over on the mound in the top of the fourth inning, making his 13th appearance of the season. Ledesma was lights-out for the Tigers as he took the game into the sixth inning, retiring six of the seven batters he faced while picking up three strikeouts.

​In the bottom of the fourth inning, Wischnack led off with a walk, immediately stole second, and then advanced to third on an errant throw from the catcher. Fujie followed up with a walk and stole second to remove the double-play opportunity. Gilbert collected his third hit of the game with a single that plated Wischnack and advanced Fujie to third, forcing the Blue Raiders to make a pitching change. The new arm was no match for Gonzalez, who smoked a double to leftfield that brought home Fujie and moved Gilbert to third base. Park followed up with a sac-fly to center field that plated Gilbert and moved up Gonzalez, and then Wright hit a sac-fly to left field that plated Gonzalez. James Teets kept the inning alive with a double to left-center field, though he was stranded to end the inning.

​After Ledesma rolled through the top of the fifth inning, the Tigers went scoreless for the first time in the bottom of the frame. Taking over for Ledesma in the top of the sixth inning was Joustin Torres, making his fourth appearance of the season for the Tigers. The lefty walked the leadoff batter, who advanced to second base on a wild pitch and then collected the first out with a grounder to third base. The Tigers decided to staff the inning and called for Shoki Fukui to finish the job. Making his fifth appearance of the season, Fukui escaped the inning thanks to Teets throwing out the runner trying to steal third, followed by a lineout to centerfield.

​Nick Hagen led off pinch-hitting for Gonzalez in the bottom of the sixth inning. Hagen unloaded on a towering homerun to leftfield for his first of the season. Brock Brubaker found his way on base with one out after he was plunked, and then Teets moved him over with a single to left-center field. Terry absolutely crushed a long homerun to centerfield for his first bomb of the season. Reid Sturn kept the inning alive with two outs with an infield single to third base, though he was left stranded. 

​Taking the mound in the bottom of the seventh inning was Logan MacNiel, making his 13th appearance of the season. Looking to secure the victory, MacNiel retired the first two batters he faced while picking up a strikeout. Though the next batter reached on an error, a flyout to centerfield ended the ballgame.

​The Tigers won the game with 21 runs on 18 hits with two errors, while the Blue Raiders lost with three runs on seven hits with three errors.
