Fishers swept a doubleheader at Huntington North on Saturday.
In the first game, the Tigers sailed past the Vikings 13-2 in six innings. Fishers scored two runs in the second inning, then poured in seven runs in the fifth inning, including a three-RBI triple by Zach Cox. In the sixth inning, Caulin Brown delivered an RBI triple, then scored on JP Preston’s single. Dom Oliverio then stepped up and cracked a two-run home run to center field.
Oliverio had an outstanding day, hitting 3-for-3 with four RBIs and three runs scored. Matt Bryant, Preston and Jack Braun all scored two runs. Dunn stole five bases, setting an individual school record. Gavin Kuzniewski pitched five innings for the win, striking out five.
The Tigers took the second game 6-2; the contest was called during the sixth inning due to rain. Huntington North scored a run in the bottom of the first inning before Fishers got four runs in the top of the third.
Caulin Brown batted in the first two runs, with a single to score Bryant and Joey Brenczewski. Dunn got home on a sacrifice fly by Oliverio, then Brown scored on an RBI fielder’s choice by Gavin Clayton.
Clayton batted in two more runs in the fifth inning, when his left field hit got Preston and Oliverio home. That gave him three RBIs for the game. Kyle Manship pitched the entire game, striking out four.
Fishers is 9-7 and hosts Pendleton Heights Monday for its Senior Night game.
