Earley's Six-RBI Effort Leads Wabash To Win At Earlham

Kamden Earley drove in six runs to lead the Wabash College baseball team to a 14-10 victory Wednesday evening over Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana.
 
Wabash improves to 10-2 with the win. The Little Giants have scored 10 or more runs in six of their 10 wins this season and average 9.6 runs a contest.
 
Earley finished the evening with five hits in six at-bats with a pair of doubles. The sophomore outfielder is hitting .411 for the season and leads the Wabash team with 23 RBI. His six-RBI effort tied for the fifth-most RBI in a game by a Little Giant player.
 
Wabash scored five runs in the second innings. Austin Simmers opened the scoring by drawing a bases-loaded walk before Earley drove home two runs with a single to center. AJ Reid added another run to the scoreboard with a single through the left side to make it a 4-0 ballgame. Liam Patton followed with an RBI double to left to push the lead to 5-0.
 
Earley added a two-run single in the third to answer a two-run effort by Earlham (10-3) in the bottom of the second. Earlham scored four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to cut the Little Giants' lead to 7-6.
 
Wabash pushed six more runs across the plate in the fifth inning starting with a two-run double by Earley. Reid drove Earley home with another double to make the score 10-6. Patton made it 11-6 with a sacrifice fly. Felix Valero brought home a run on a ground ball to second to push the Wabash lead to 13-6.
 
Earlham scored a run in the sixth, two more in the seventh, and added a final run in the eighth to trim the advantage to 13-10. Valero added a final RBI with a ground out to short in the ninth inning to provide the four-run margin of victory.
 
Wabash finished the game with 14 total hits led by the five-hit performance by Earley. Reid and Camden Scheidt each collected two hits. Simmers, Patton, Noah Luebbehusen, Evan Neukam, and Valero added one hit apiece.
 
Tavic Simmons earned his first victory in relief for the Little Giants. Simmons pitched four innings of six-hit baseball. He allowed three runs and gave up two walks with three strikeouts. Grant Stratton started for the Little Giants and pitched three innings. He gave up five earned runs on seven hits with two walks and four strikeouts. Sam Phillips worked the final two innings for Wabash. He held Earlham to one unearned run on no hits. Phillips walked three batters and struck out three.
 
Wabash plays Illinois Wesleyan University in a three-game weekend series beginning with a doubleheader in Bloomington, Illinois, on Saturday. The series concludes with a single nine-inning game at Goodrich Ballpark on Sunday afternoon.
