Eagles Pile On Against Cuba

Sullivan scored two runs in each of the first three innings April 21 and blasted Cuba 8-2 in the second of a non-conference doubleheader at De Soto.

Austin Frye had three hits — two singles and a double. He drove in two runs and scored once. 

Cody McKinney and Garrett Juergens each had a pair of hits, with Juergens picking up a double. McKinney had two RBIs.

Tanner Jackson and Dalton Englert both had singles. Jacob Miller was held hitless, but still scored two runs to go along with two stolen bases. Blayten Nolie walked and scored a run.

Logan McCummiskey pitched 6.1 innings, struck out six, scattered five hits and allowed one earned run. He was lifted for Josh Wiese in the seventh inning. Wiese came in, allowed a hit and retired two batters.

McCummiskey allowed a leadoff double in the first and allowed the run to score on a groundout, but settled in from there. He sat down seven straight before an infield single in the third. 

Sullivan went on top with a two-run first. McKinney was hit by a pitch and Frye singled. Juergens lined a double to left, scoring McKinney. Jackson grounded out to bring in Frye for a 2-1 lead.

Englert had a one-out single in the second. Nolie was hit by a pitch and  Miller grounded into a fielder’s choice to put runners on the corners. McKinney singled and an error in center allowed both Englert and Miller to score, putting the Eagles up 4-1.

Juergens and Jackson led off the third with a pair of singles. McCummiskey bunted the runners into scoring position. That set up both Juergens and Jackson scoring on passed balls. 

Sullivan scored another run in the fourth. Nolie drew a leadoff walk and McKinney singled on a pop fly to first base, advancing Nolie to third. Frye drove a single up the middle to bring in Nolie for a 7-1 lead.

In the sixth, Miller reached on an error, stole second, stole third and scored on a double by Frye.
