Josh Fiebiger (Fletcher, Ohio/Miami East) andChris Green (Cincinnati, Ohio/LaSalle) pitched the fifth and ninth innings, respectively, combining to set down their opponents in order in both frames. Freshman Matt Rupert (Evanston, Ill./Evanston) added an inning and two-thirds of scoreless relief in the first meeting.
At the plate, sophomore Ray Noe (Dublin, Ohio/Jerome) went 3-6 on the evening with a couple of RBIs to add to his total, which currently sits at 27, good for second on the roster.
A doubleheader with the Kenyon Lords on Wednesday, April 29, wraps up the 2009 campaign for Head Coach Jay Lewis and his team. The festivities kick off at 5 p.m. as the Tigers send off their senior class.
