| Senior Tanner Johnson |
Senior Tanner Johnson picked a good time for his first career varsity homerun. The thirdbaseman capped a career night with a walk off 3 run homer in the bottom of the seventh to lead the Knights to a 9-6 win over Tosa East. Johnson finished 2-3 with 3 runs scored, 5 RBI's, and a stolen base.
Tosa East battled back from a 6-2 deficit when shortstop Ben Carpenter hit a grand slam for Tosa East in the top of the sixth to tie the game. Senior Austin Barbee (2-4; 2 runs, 2 stolen bases) then led off the bottom of the seventh with a hit and quickly stole second for the Knights. With one out, the Red Raiders intentionally walked junior secondbaseman Hayden Krimmer to pitch to Johnson, who delivered the game winning blast.
Barbee started the night on the hill and pitched 4 2/3, striking out 6. Freshman Mitchell Makarewicz picked up his first career varsity win in relief. The Knights continued to be aggressive on the bases, stealing 8 bases on the night. The Knights (3-0 overall; 1-0 GMC) will now travel to Brookfield Central Friday night for a 5:30 game at McCoy Park.
