Petrels break out brooms against Majors

ATLANTA—In a series filled with big plays and clutch performances, the Oglethorpe baseball team swept Millsaps three games to none Friday and Saturday at Hermance Stadium. After Friday's 2-1, 10-inning win, Oglethorpe returned Saturday to win 13-6 and 2-1.

The series moved the Stormy Petrels to 13-13 overall, 7-5 Southern Athletic Association, where they currently sit one game out of first place.

Game 1 | Oglethorpe 13, Millsaps 6

The game cruised along in a 3-0 score through six and a half innings before the last two innings saw 16 runs plated. Millsaps had the lead at 3-0 until Brick Conway started a seven-run seventh inning with a bases-loaded double that tied the game 3-3. Trey Kinnan broke the tie three batters later with a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch, then Shane Newsome added an RBI single later in the inning to make it 7-3.

Millsaps rallied with three runs to make it 7-6 in the top of the eighth, but Oglethorpe put the game away with six runs in the bottom of the eighth. Carter Guarino had a two-RBI single, Newsome and Jonathan Cruz both drove one in on a ground ball, and Cooper Krause drove one in on a sacrifice fly.

  • Cruz (2-for-6), Conway (2-for-6) and Nick Tarantino (2-for-2) all finished with multiple hits in game one.
  • Conway added three RBI's.
  • Colby James got the start and went six innings scattering three hits and three walks for two runs with four strikeouts. James
  • received no decision as Paul Gaeta, who pitched the seventh, was on record when Oglethorpe surged into the lead.
  • Dylan Quintilio earned the save, his second of the season, when he struck out three over the last inning and two-thirds.
  • Quintilio entered in a 7-6 game with two on and only one out but ended the threat with a flyout and strikeout. He then finished the ninth in 1-2-3 fashion with two strikeouts.
  • In all, Quintilio retired all five batters he faced.

Game 2 | Oglethorpe 2, Millsaps 1

Quintilio picked up right where he left off. Getting the game-two start, the sophomore right-hander pitched four shutout innings with two hits, four walks and one strikeout.

Oglethorpe got him a run in the bottom of the second on a Newsome RBI single through the left side with one out, but it would remain 1-0 though five and a half.

Parker Spring had great success in a relief appearance of Quintilio, pitching one and two-third no-hit shutout innings. He put the Majors down 1-2-3 in the fifth before getting the first two out in the sixth. After then walking the next two, Hunter Spence entered to close the game for the last four outs and did so with minimal trouble.

The Stormy Petrels had a few great defensive plays in the victory, including a run-saving grounder up the middle that Conway fielded nicely and Cruz made the putout nicely to finish the third. Newsome had another great play to end the game when he fielded a tough ground ball and made a strong throw to first with the tying run scampering home to even things up at 2-2. Instead, it send Oglethorpe to the game-three victory and a sweep of the series.

Oglethorpe scored its second run in the game on a wild pitch when Cruz, who doubled to lead off, came home in the bottom of the sixth. The run proved pivotal as Millsaps got it back in the top of the seventh.
