RAMSEY – Thanks to a five-run fifth inning, New Albany won its fifth
game in a row Tuesday at North Harrison 9-4.
The five scores in the top of the fifth put the Bulldogs
(9-6) up 7-2. The Cougars (4-10) cut their deficit to 7-4 in the bottom half
with a pair of runs. But New Albany got its lead back to five runs with two
scores in the top of the seventh.
Bulldog left-hander Ryan Robison got the victory in a
starting role, improving his record to 3-2. Robison pitched four innings,
yielding two runs (one earned) on one hit with two strikeouts and no walks.
Teammate Chase Rudy earned the save. In three innings of
relief, he gave up two runs (both earned) on no hits. Rudy recorded seven
strikeouts and three walks. He went 2-for-3 at the plate.
Two other Bulldogs had multihit games. Dylan Clark went
2-for-4 with two RBIs and Jacob Mullins ended up 2-for-5 with two RBIs.
North Harrison’s Jake Morin was the losing pitcher. He
surrendered seven runs (five earned) on eight hits, walking three and striking
out two.
New Albany will host Seymour in the first round of the
Hoosier Hills Conference Tournament at 6 p.m. Monday at Mt. Tabor Field.
On Friday morning, New Albany postponed its home split doubleheader
for later that day with Corydon Central and Madison because of rain. The Bulldogs’
