Tigerville, SC - In one of the quickest game in recent memory (2 hours, 14 minutes), the North Greenville Crusaders were able to shut out the Warriors of Southern Wesleyan University to open up the final conference series of the regular season with a final score of 3-0 this afternoon at Ray & Bea Dillard Field. NGU took an early lead in the bottom of the first when
Pat Monteith hit a solo shot to left field. From there, pitching would dominate both sides as six consecutive innings would go scoreless. However, the Crusaders would put two insurance runs on the board when
Marek Chlup hit a two run home run down the left field line. After a 5.0 inning shutout performance by
Noah Takac and a 2.0 inning scoreless relief appearance by
Matthew Taubensee,
Michael Rodriguez would close things out with 2.0 scoreless innings of his own to secure the save.
