Georgetown's Bonner Signs Professional Baseball Contract (6-16-2009)

Recent Georgetown College graduate and former star shortstop, Bryan Bonner has signed a contract to play professional baseball with the Midwest Sliders of Waterford, Mich.  Bonner sealed the deal on June 12 with the Sliders, who are a member of the Frontier League and plan to use him as a utility player.

He has played in all of Midwest’s three games since signing and the Sliders are definitely using him in many areas, including second base and leftfield.

The league is an independent minor league that provides non-drafted players and those who have been released the chance to continue their careers.  Many players are signed into affiliated organizations from this league.

“This is a great opportunity for Bryan and we are excited about his future,” said Georgetown coach Erik Hagen.  “I think all he needed was the chance to compete at this level and I believe his abilities will allow him to continue on, hopefully with an affiliated major league club.”

While at Georgetown, the Cincinnati native started every game during his four years as a Tiger and was a four time All-Conference selection.  He ended his career with an overall batting average of .318 and was responsible for a total of 190 RBIs, crossing the plate himself 153 times.  He ranks in nearly every school career record offensively.

Women's Soccer Completes Roster with Addition of Terrell  (5-27-2009)

Danville, Ky. — The Georgetown College Women's Soccer roster for 2009 is complete with the signing of  Brooke Terrell on May 26th.

"Brooke's work ethic and leadership will be a great addition to the Georgetown program," said her high school coach Brian Deem.  "I believe that Georgetown found a 'diamond in the rough' with Brooke.  She's a fierce competitor that respects the game."

Tiger Coach Leah Castleman is excited to add depth to the keeper position.  "Brooke is very vocal on the field and has the athleticism and agility to make the big save."

The NAIA honored a total of 238 baseball players this year.  Recipients are required to be juniors or above in academic standing; in attendance at the nominating institution a minimum of one full year of attendance; hold a minimum grade point average of 3.50 (on a 4.0 scale) at the time of nomination at the nominating institution and be certified as eligible on the varsity roster.

Georgetown's Mayo, Swinson Compete in NAIA National Championships (5-26-2009)

Edwardsville, Ill. — Georgetown College's John Michael Mayo and Matthew Swinson competed in the NAIA National Track & Field Championships held May 21-23 at Ralph Korte Stadium in Edwardsville, Ill.  The 58th annual championships were hosted by the St. Louis Sports Commission and Lindenwood, McKendree and Missouri Baptist universities.

While neither Tiger advanced out of their preliminaries, both gained the experience of competing against the best in the NAIA as young members of the improving Tiger program.  Coach Jeff Hulsmeyer says he expects Mayo and Swinson to take the experience and use it as motivation to train hard to qualify and return to the national meet.

"You hope that your athletes will peak at the national meet, but sometimes that just doesn't happen," said Hulsmeyer.  "They will learn from this and come back a lot stronger next year because of it."

Mayo, a sophomore from Pikeville, Ky., was plagued with an elbow injury that kept him from throwing his best.  He finished tenth in the his flight with a throw of 54.09 meters.

Teammate Swinson, a freshman from Capitol Heights, Md., competed in the triple jump event and finished fifth in his flight with a jump of 13.49 meters.  Hulsmeyer expects him to not only qualify again next season, but to make it in another event as well.  "Matthew is a great young talent as a jumper and I think he could qualify in the high jump next year in addition to the triple jump," said Hulsmeyer.

Milner has played at both outside hitter and defensive specialist for Notre Dame Academy.  She is an AAU National All-American and was a part of her high school's KHSAA Runner Up team in 2007 and Elite Eight in 2008.    She has played club volleyball with four current Tigers: Allie Bertke, Elizabeth Goodin, Kristy Hock and Kelsey Luckett, and looks forward to being teammates with them again at the collegiate level.

Wise is a defensive specialist/libero from Louisville.  She will graduate from Mercy Academy and has played on national championship teams through the Mid-America Volleyball Association, where Coach Jeff Hulsmeyer has worked.

Tiger Softball Finishes Special Season (5-17-2009)

Decatur, Ala. —The Georgetown College Tigers finished a special year with a 5-4 loss to Bethel (Tenn.) in the NAIA National Softball Tournament on Sunday.

Georgetown came back from a 3-1 deficit in the sixth inning, scoring three runs to go up 4-2 after five Tigers reached base on walks and were moved by a sacrifice bunt by freshman Jordan Clemons and a Whitney Ealey base hit.

Unfortunately, it wasn't enough, as Bethel tied things up in the bottom of the sixth with a run by Brittany Edmonds after she hit a single to begin the inning and advanced on two other Wildcat hits.

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. The brackets and final poll will be released on Friday.
