Baseball Weekend
TR South 11, Brick 7: Senior right hander Kevin Knowles came out of the bullpen in the bottom of the seventh to settle down the host Green Dragons (1-8, 1-6) and preserve the Shore Conference Class A South victory for the visiting Indians (6-4, 4-3 in A South). After an infield error, Knowles struck out a batter and induced a weak pop up to first baseman Dan Davis for his first career save.
South rallied out to a 9-1 lead through the top of the third inning, scoring one in the first, four in the second and four in the third inning. Senior shortstopTyler Gebler doubled, stole third base and scored on an RBI ground out by sophomore Mitch Dressing in the first. A Tyler Kapp RBI single and a run scoring double by sophomore catcher Dan Scheller helped make it 5-0. In the third inning, an RBI single by Michael Coon, run scoring hit by Kapp and a sacrifice fly by Gebler pushed the lead to 8-0.
The Dragons rallied back though, as designated hitter Tim Carney struck for four hits in four at bats while driving in five runners with two homers and two singles. Carney blasted a solo homer in the second and a two-run homer in the fifth. He had run scoring singles in the third and the seventh inning. South sophomore Connor Kaden (1-0) earned his first varsity win, holding Brick to three runs in the first three innings while striking out six, walking one and allowing five hits. Junior Rich Gabriel worked the next three before yielding to Knowles. Dan Boyle (0-2) took the loss for Brick.
TR South 5, TR North 1: Senior righthander Tyler Gebler went the distance, striking out 7, walking none and allowing only six hits as the Indians (5-4, 3-3) defeated the crosstown rival Mariners (8-2, 5-2) at Ken Frank Baseball Stadium in Toms River. Gebler, who also had an RBI single in the third inning, only allowed three baserunners until the seventh inning, when the Mariners strung together four hits in five plate appearances.
South took a 2-0 lead in the third when junior Tyler Kapp led off with a single up the middle and was bunted to second by sophomore catcher Dan Scheller. Gebler drilled a single, scoring Kapp. Courtesy runner Chris McKenna, running for Gebler, later scored on a Kevin Gilmore sacrifice fly. An RBI single by Scheller in the fourth made it 3-0 and South added two more in the fifth on an RBI single by Dave Egeland and an RBI walk by Kapp.
Brian Gilbert had an RBI single for North in the seventh inning. Bill Hoermann had a double in the first, but was stranded.
With the win, Gebler improves his career record to 23-10 and ties former TRS pitchers Tom Forrester (1982) and Jeff Burstein (1994) for sixth place on the TRS all time win list.
