Turner gets first collegiate win as Foresters split

Brent Turner threw six innings of one-hit ball in a 5-0 second game win to help the Huntington University baseball team get a doubleheader split with visiting Marian University on Tuesday, April 16.

The Foresters, 21-11 on the season and 15-6 in the Crossroads League, lost the opener, 8-2.

Austin Pritchard pitched the final inning, giving up two hits, with one strikeout.

Satchell Wilson had two hits and two runs batted in and Donovan Clark had a hit and two ribbies in support of Turner.

The Foresters gave Turner all the runs he needed in a three-run fourth inning, and then added two insurance tallies in the sixth frame.

Clark had two hits in this game.

Joey Butz went the first 4.1 innings on the mound, giving up two earned runs on eight hits, with six strikeouts and three walks. Shinabery wound up permitting six earned runs on another eight hits in 4.1, with five strikeouts and one walk. Gabe Freeman recorded the final out for HU.
