Baseball Takes Two from Central in First Home Series of 2022

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - The Coe College baseball team got back on track with a pair of victories on Saturday over Central, winning 8-3 in game one and 8-5 in game two. The opening game of the doubleheader sweep featured 11 hits and eight RBI from the Kohawk offense and a solid pitching performance from TJ Johnson. Coe fell behind in game two as Central scored three in the top of the first but the hosts battled back, answering with three in the bottom of the first and one in the bottom of the second. After two runs from the Dutch in the top of the third, Coe took the lead for good in the bottom of the fourth, getting two runs to jump ahead. The victories move Coe to 12-10 overall and 7-4 in the A-R-C while Central drops to 10-11 and 1-10 in the league.  
 
GAME ONE
COE 8 - CENTRAL 3
Game Facts
  • Johnson, who worked a perfect first, quickly got some offensive help as the Kohawks picked up three first-inning runs. Four-straight base runners were highlighted by RBI hits from Creighton Kreshel and TJ Johnson as the pair combined to make it 2-0. Three batters later, TJ Deardorff made it 3-0, producing a sacrifice fly to center which allowed TJ Johnson to score. 
  • The Kohawks continued to pad their lead in the bottom of the second inning, getting three runs on four hits to blow the game open. Three-straight hits from Jack Allison, James VanHooser and Jacob Brosius quickly increased the lead to four before TJ Johnson cashed in with a two-RBI single up the middle. 
  • Central finally got on the board in the fourth after a scoreless third, scoring a pair of runs to slice into Coe's lead. The Dutch added another run in the top of the fifth, getting their second solo homer of the game, making it 6-3 after five. 
  • The game went scoreless during the sixth and seventh but the Kohawks added some final insurance in the home half of the eighth. Tyler Elliott singled and was moved to second on a sacrifice bunt before the Kohawks turned to pinch-hitter Kevin Lamb. Lamb came up with his first hit of the season in a big moment, hitting a two-run blast to left while putting the game out of reach for the Dutch. 
 
GAME TWO
COE 8 - CENTRAL 5
Game Facts
  • Coe immediately fell behind in the second game of the day, surrendering three runs to Central in the top of the first thanks to one hit and one Kohawk error. The hosts showed no panic despite the early lead, answering back with three runs in the bottom of the first including a two-run dinger from Kreshel. The Kohawks took their first lead of the game in the next inning, pushing one run across after some solid situational running. 
  • Central responded in the top of the third, using three hits and one Coe error to regain a lead with a pair of runs. Three-straight base hits leveled the game a four but a 4-6-3 double play nearly ended the threat. An error in the next at-bat allowed the Dutch to retake the lead at 5-4 but starting pitcher Matthew Mittelmark buckled down and retired the side. 
  • The Kohawks regained the lead for good in the bottom of the fourth inning, scoring a pair of runs after one hit and two Central errors. Lamb reached on an error to start the inning and moved to second on a walk. He and TJ Deardorff then advanced 90 feet on a wild pitch before an RBI single from Daniel Hawes. On the single, Central threw the ball away, allowing Deardorff to score the sixth run of the game for Coe. Allison, who had entered in relief for Coe in the top of the fifth, returned in the sixth and worked another perfect inning to keep the lead at one. 
  • Coe added an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth, getting a sacrifice fly from Reid Rausch as he drove home Mitchell Eckardt who had walked earlier in the frame. The final run of the contest came in the bottom of the seventh, scoring on a Central error as Jordan Joselit crossed home to make it 8-5. Austin Divello then entered the game for Coe with two outs in the eighth for a chance at a four-out save and the sophomore did not disappoint, registering four-straight outs to clinch the victory for the Kohawks. 
Up next: The Kohawks will wrap up the three-game set with the Dutch tomorrow at 1 PM with one game at Daniels Park.
