Baseball Quakers Play Home Opener at McBride Stadium For Immediate Release: RICHMOND, Ind. — One inning proved to be the difference Tuesday as the Earlham College baseball team opened the home portion of its schedule on a chilly evening at McBride Stadium. The College of Mount St. Joseph defeated the Quakers 7-1. “We played pretty well for eight innings and we got some good pitching,” Earlham College coach Tom Parkevich said. “We just had one bad inning.” Earlham led 1-0 heading into the top of the fifth as sophomore starter Corey Gareri (Thorntown, IN/Western Boone) was cruising along. Mount St. Joseph (4-0) began the frame with two hits followed by an error, which started a five-run rally. Gareri (0-1) went four innings, giving up five runs on four hits with four strikeouts. The Quakers (2-3) couldn’t recover and surrendered a pair of runs in the eighth for the final runs of the contest. First-year Randy Kerns (West Manchester, OH/National Trail) worked out of the fifth and completed two more scoreless innings before giving way to senior Andy Krickenbarger (Arcanum, OH/Arcanum), who pitched the eighth. First-year Kevin Greve (Farmersburg, IN/ North Central) wrapped up the game in the ninth. As a group, the relievers hurled five innings allowing two runs on three hits with three strikeouts. Earlham scored its run in the fourth on a sacrifice fly by junior Kyle Bond (Ft. Wayne, IN/Homestead). Junior Justin Colanese (New Carlisle, IN/New Prairie), sophomore Eric Sturgeon (Logansport, IN/Logansport) and first-year Danny Bridge (Logansport, IN/ Lewis Cass) had Earlham’s hits. Earlham is back at McBride Stadium on Saturday for a doubleheader against Oberlin College. Since Oberlin is in the East Division of the North Coast Athletic Conference, the games are non-league. The first contest gets underway at 1 p.m. Box score. — EC — Contact:
