Tigers Lose Heartbreaker in MSC Finals (5-3-2009)

Georgetown, KY--Down two, with two outs, two on and senior Bryan Bonner at the plate, things looked like they could go Georgetown's way, but the shortstop's shot to leftfield was just short of the wall and the Tigers lost 7-5 to Campbellsville in the Mid-South Conference Tournament final.

Campbellsville came out firing in the first inning with a homerun by Chris Curley, his first of two in the game, and a string of hits to score three in the top of the inning.  Georgetown answered with a run in the first and third before Campbellsville used a four-run inning in the fourth to complete their scoring on the day.

Georgetown fought back, behind the swings of senior Jake Mahan, who was a perfect five-for-five on the day.  The Tigers scored a couple of runs in the bottom of the fifth and then a single run in the sixth to make it 7-5. Defensively, Georgetown was strong in the end, including a special double play when Colin Wilkerson caught a fly ball followed by an amazing throw to catcher Jason Frilling to complete the two-fer.  Ryan Archer's diving catch in leftfield came up big before Bonner's final at bat.

Campbellsville moved to 35-10 on the year and Georgetown fell to 32-22.  Now the Tigers must wait for the NAIA National Tournament brackets to see if their season will continue.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Georgetown College senior Eric Severson is the Mid-South Conference Baseball Player of the Week and University of the Cumberlands junior Ryan Bennett is the MSC Pitcher of the Week for the week ending April 18, according to the conference.

The weekly award is Severson’s second of the season and Bennett’s first.

Severson hit .500 (10-for-20) with four multiple hit games in the Tigers’ six games. The Edgewood, Ky., native, hit three home runs and drove in 14 runs while helping the Tigers to a 5-1 record on the week.

Severson added eight runs, a pair of stolen bases and recorded a 1.150 slugging percentage on the week.

On the season, Severson leads the MSC in doubles (18), third in RBIs (47) and fourth in both batting average (.423) and slugging percentage (.731).

With its 5-1 week, Georgetown is 27-19 on the season and tied for second in the conference (14-8) heading into the final week of the regular season.

April Snow Cancels Baseball (4-7-09)

Mother nature's surprise April snow has forced the decision to cancel today's Tiger Baseball game versus Asbury College at Applebee's Park in Lexington.

Georgetown will host Trevecca Nazarene on Wednesday for a single 9-inning game to begin at 5:00 p.m.

Tigers to Take on the Cats (3-5-09)

The Georgetown College Baseball team will have a short trip to Lexington when the Tigers take on the Wildcats of the University of Kentucky on Tuesday, March 10 at 4:00 p.m. at Cliff Hagen Stadium.

The last meeting between the schools was a 4-2 loss in 2005, Coach Erik Hagen's first season at Georgetown. Ironically, UK's Gary Henderson is in his first season as head coach this time around.

"They are a legitimate Southeastern Conference contender and we're really excited to have the opportunity to play them.  We are very thankful and just hope we can give them a good game," said Hagen.

After two wins over No. 22 Ohio Dominican on Wednesday, the Tigers are currently 6-7 headed into this weekend's conference opener at Campbellsville.
