gt baseball

Beaver Falls, PA – There is nothing as sweet as beating a long-time rival, especially in a comeback walk off win.

Aaron Witman’s (Greencastle, PA/Shalom Christian Academy) sacrifice fly ended the game in the ninth, knocking in Tyler Pagaduan (Voorhess, NJ/Eastern Regional) in a 6-5 final over the visiting Westminster Titans. The win raises Geneva’s overall record to 11-19, 5-13 in the Presidents’ Athletic Conference.

The nine inning game started with Geneva taking the lead 1-0 in the first. A lead change in the second left Geneva down 2-1 but the Golden Tornadoes tied it in the third when Ryan McGonigle (Vandergrift, PA/Apollo Ridge) rbi single brought home Pagaduan making the game 2-2.

Geneva surrendered three runs in the fifth and would trail until the bottom of the eighth.

Helping Geneva close the gap was Donnie Tong (Columbus, OH/Tree of Life Christian). Tong went a perfect 3-3 including a homer in the sixth.

Pagaduan went 3-5 at the plate and was batted home three times.

Zach Ackerman (Lewis Center, OH/Worthington Christian) worked the first eight innings, allowing two earned runs, seven hits and one walk while striking out with a season high nine batters. Tanner Propst (Chambersburg, PA/Cumberland Valley Christian) finished the job allowing no runs in the ninth.
