Baseball: Noblesville grabs Senior Day win over Lebanon

The REPORTER

The Noblesville baseball team honored its two senior managers and players last Saturday afternoon on Senior Day. They welcomed in former JV Black head coach Riley Benner and the Lebanon Tigers. One big fifth inning put the Millers over the top for a 6-1 win.

Adam Gaskill got the start, allowing just four baserunners through the first four innings. Lebanon’s Nate Kouns reached on a passed ball after striking out. Willie Shelton dropped a single just over Chris Martz at third. Brooks Johnson sent the lone Tiger run home when he got on base with an error from Aiden Reynolds at short, scoring Kouns.

Aiden Ramsey and Garrett Dixon started the home half of the fifth with each getting hit by a pitch. Freshman Zac Glander doubled to left to score Ramsey to tie it 1-1.

Trevor Corbett hit an infield single to third, scoring courtesy runner Jalen Stidham, making it 2-1. Glander advanced to 3rd and Corbett to second on a passed ball. The bases were loaded with an intentional walk of Reynolds.

Cole Schott was the third in the inning to get hit by a pitch from Kouns to score Glander. That brought in Willie Shelton to relieve Kouns.

Tanner Miller then hit a sacrifice fly to left to score Corbett and it was 4-1. Joe Glander, pinch running for Reynolds, scored on a balk by Shelton to push it to 5-1. With Ramsey back up for the 10th hitter of the inning, Schott ran home on a wild pitch for what became the final score of 6-1.

Gaskill (2-2) went the distance for a complete game, striking out three and walking two, while allowing just two hits.

Noblesville (11-8) has won six in a row and hosts the Oak Hill Golden Eagles (10-7) on Monday at 6:30 p.m.
