The Guerin Catholic baseball team hosted Greenfield-Central in a doubleheader last Saturday.
In the first game, the Golden Eagles held off a huge comeback by the Cougars to win 11-10. Greenfield scored a run in the top of the first inning, which Guerin Catholic answered with three runs in the bottom of the inning. Sam Tabor batted in Will Fremion for the first run, then Ian Taylor’s left field hit scored Tabor and Aiden Ochall.
The Golden Eagles put up three runs in the third inning. AJ Nunley singled in Tabor and Davis Wagner, then Daulton Phillips drove in Nunley with a center field hit. In the fourth inning, Anthony Ferrucci singled Fremion home, and GC led 7-1.
