Yetis Win over #7 Florence-Darlington Technical College
The Cleveland Community College Baseball team won a mid-week shootout versus nationally ranked Florence-Darlington Technical College on Wednesday, 12-8 at Yeti Athletics Park.
The Stingers were ranked #7 in the NJCAA Division I national rankings entering the week of March 13.
Both teams would platoon multiple pitchers with Connor Sampers starting the first two innings for the Yetis. Boone Cartee would log three innings in the effort with Gavin Woolery closing out the final inning. Tyler Casciato, Ben Hemphill, Alex Adams, and Ben Hodge would double from the plate. Alex Khan, Hemphill, Adams and Hodge would drive in two runs each for the offense.
"This was a big win for the program," said Head Coach John Grigg. "We were facing an uphill battle against a ranked DI team, and the guys battled to get the win."
The Yetis, who compete as Division II members of the NJCAA, travel for a Region 10 Series at Wake Tech Saturday and Sunday.
