Petrels bounce back to even Berry series

ATLANTA—Carson Weir combined to go 5-for-6 with four runs, a double and a home run, and Oglethorpe's baseball team bounced back to even the series with Berry in a doubleheader Friday at Hermance Stadium. Oglethorpe lost the first game 14-1 but won the second game 10-4.

Weir's homer came in game one as one of the Stormy Petrels' lone highlights of the opener, but that all changed in game two as the team rattled off 12 hits and scored five first-inning runs to put the second game away early.

Greg Johnson doubled in two runs with two out in the bottom of the first to cap the big inning, then Carter Guarino did the same with a two-run single in the second. Guarino's second-inning base hit made it 7-0 and came with two out.

In fact, of Oglethorpe's first eight runs of the game, five came via two-out RBI's, and the Petrels had put together three two-out hits through the first three innings.

Meanwhile, Zach Turner had only thrown 14 pitches and allowed only one hit through two innings, as Oglethorpe led 7-0. Turner would go on to complete five and two-third innings, a career high, during which time he allowed five hits, two earned runs and five walks while striking out six.

Colby James relieved Turner for the remaining one and one-third innings, keeping the Vikings scoreless on one hit and no walks. He struck out one.

Series Notes

  • Weir's 5-for-6 day included a 3-for-3 effort in game two. He matched his career high of three times coming across home plate.
  • Johnson also went 3-for-3 in game two. He drove in two and scored one.
  • Cooper Wilson and Jonathan Cruz both tallied two hits.
  • Turner picked up his second win of the season, and his six strikeouts were one shy of his career high.
  • Nick Tarantino combined to go 2-for-5 on the day.
  • Sam Mills extended his streak of reaching base safely to 14 games. Johnson has reached safely in nine straight games.

Up Next

Oglethorpe and Berry finish the series with the rubber game tentatively set for Saturday at 2 p.m. After that, the Stormy Petrels will rematch Covenant next week at home before heading to Rhodes for the weekend Southern Athletic Association series.
