Baseball Earlham Duo Key to Victory for RiverRats For Immediate Release:
RICHMOND, Ind. — A pair of Earlham College baseball players were an important part of a victory on Sunday as the Richmond RiverRats picked up an 8-7 win over Danville in a Prospect League game at McBride Stadium. Senior Jake Carr (Richmond, IN/Richmond) and junior Adam Painter (Ft. Wayne, IN/Snider) hit and pitched the RiverRats to their second straight win. Carr’s three-run triple in the eighth inning gave the RiverRats an 7-6 advantage and he later scored what proved to be the winning run on Mitch Widau’s sacrifice fly. Widau plays at Ball State University and is a Richmond High School. Painter (1-0) worked in relief on the mound to earn his initial victory of the season that is in its first week. He went two innings surrendering two hits with two strikeouts. To go with his triple, Carr had a single and a pair of walks with four RBI and a stolen base. The Prospect League has 11 teams with players who have completed at least one year of collegiate baseball. The wooden bat league is in its first season, but it formed with the six-team Central Illinois Collegiate League that had operated since 1963. — EC — Contact: |
