North Greenville Wins Rematch Against West Chester, One Win Away From National Championship

The North Greenville Crusaders are officially one win away from the university's first ever NCAA National Championship, defeating the Golden Rams of West Chester University with a final score of 8-5 this evening at Coleman Field in Cary, North Carolina. Seth Chestnut took the mound for the start, pitching 4.0 strong innings before being relieved by Thomas Skipper, who received the win with his 2.1 innings pitched. Brent Herlong pitched the final 2.2 innings, falling just one out short of recording a save. After two scoreless innings to start things off, Pat Monteith would get the Crusaders on the board with a grand slam after a single by John Michael Faile and walks by Ethan Stringer and Marek Chlup. NGU continued the scoring in the 4th with three additional runs including an RBI ground out by Gehrig Octavio, an RBI single by Ethan Stringer, and an RBI single by Marek Chlup. After West Chester got on the board with a run in the bottom of the inning, the Crusaders would respond with a run of their own by way of a sacrifice fly by Gehrig Octavio in the top of the 5th. However, the Golden Rams would put up a solid fight in the bottom of the inning with three runs to cut their deficit to four. Things would calm down in the 6th and 7th innings as the score would remain the same. WCU would score an unearned run in the bottom of the 8th, but Brent Herlong would go on to pitch a three up, three down bottom of the 9th to send North Greenville to the championship series.
