Yetis Topple #3 Gaston College
The baseball team notched a Region win over nationally ranked Gaston College on Wednesday by a score of 3-1 at Yetis Athletic Park.
The Rhinos entered the game with a 33-3 overall record and ranked #3 nationally in the most recent NJCAA Division II baseball poll.
Parker Kanupp paced the Yetis with an outstanding performance on the mound to gain the win. Kanupp would go six strong innings while striking out 9 Rhino batters. Matias Marchesini would pitch the final three innings, giving up just one hit to record the save. Robert Moya led off the 6th inning with a homerun, his 8th of the season.
"Gaston has great pitching and the only way to match them is to have great pitching performances," said Head Coach Tyler Dawson. "Parker had a great day on the mound and did what we needed him to do to gain the win. And Matias gave us three strong innings to close things out."
The Yetis are back in action this weekend as they travel for a Region 10 series versus Guilford Tech on Friday and Saturday.
