UNG Baseball

DAHLONEGA, Ga. — The University of North Georgia put together one of its best games of the season in blanking Toccoa Falls 15-0 in non-conference baseball at Bob Stein Stadium Wednesday.

Nighthawks hitters belted four home runs and four UNG pitchers completed a five-hit shutout.

Steven Tomlinson, Ryan Tomita, Connor Hoover and Sam Tidaback all went yard for the Nighthawks. Hoover’s blast was his first career grand slam. Tomlinson’s blast was a his seventh of the season, a three-run shot to right center field.

Part-time starter Kevin Krupp, batting only .138 to start the night, had a breakout game, going 3-for-3, scoring twice and driving in another run.

Starting pitcher Daniel McCrary (3-3) was outstanding, allowing just five hits while striking out 9 and walking only one in the five innings he worked.

UNG went to the bullpen three times in the last four innings and relief pitchers Derrick Pickvet, Josh Bryan and Taylor Keinat retired all 12 batters they faced in order and allowed the ball out of the infield only twice.

UNG improves to 23-16 on the season while the Eagles slip to 14-18.
