Phoenix Snap Skid with Run Rule Victory over Reinhardt

LEBANON, Tenn.--Cumberland Baseball erupted for 16 runs, including an eight-run seventh inning, to pull away for a 16-6 victory over Reinhardt on Tuesday afternoon at Woody Hunt Stadium.

Cumberland's offense was explosive despite recording just 10 hits, capitalizing on nine walks, four hit-by-pitches, and multiple Reinhardt miscues. Dylan LaRue led the charge with a monster performance, going 2-for-3 with a home run and driving in eight runs, while Wilser Then added two hits and three RBIs. Gabriel Reyes finished 3-for-4 with three runs scored, and Gaines Haussin chipped in two RBIs and drew two walks.

On the mound, Jaron Keyser earned the win in relief, tossing 1.1 innings while allowing one run and striking out two. Cumberland used a five-man pitching staff, combining for nine strikeouts while limiting Reinhardt to six runs, just five earned. Colson Smith got the start, throwing two innings and giving up three runs. Carter Whitefield threw 1.2 giving up two hits and a run. Noah Couch and Kyle Nyblod each threw an inning. 

Reinhardt struck first with a run in the opening inning after a double. Jackson Rains stole third and came in to score on an errant throw for the early lead. 

The Phoenix answered in the bottom half of the inning as LaRue reached on a hit by pitch and McDonald walked. Wilser Then drove them in with a single to center field for a 2-1 lead. 

The Eagles got two back in the second inning after back to back doubles and another stolen base and errant throw go up 3-2. Reinhardt added a run in the fourth inning to lead by two. 

The Phoenix broke the game open in the bottom of the fourth inning, scoring five runs on just two hits. After loading the bases, Haussin drew an RBI walk before LaRue delivered the biggest swing of the game, a grand slam to center field, to give Cumberland a 7-4 lead.

Reinhardt answered with a solo home run in the fifth, LaRue drove in a run on sac fly in the sixth, and the Eagles added another run in the seventh to cut the deficit to 8-6, but Cumberland quickly put the game out of reach for the run rule victory in the seventh. 

In the bottom of the seventh, the Phoenix exploded for eight runs on six hits, taking advantage of free passes and timely hitting. Royer led off the inning with a walk and Then followed with a double off the wall. Cohl Proctor delivered a big hit with a two-run double off the centerfield wall. Gabriel Reyes singled to load the bases and pinch-hitter Charlie Rocca delivered an RBI single. Haussin followed with an RBI-single and LaRue came up big again with a three-RBI double down the line. Then and Cole Freeman each were hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to plate the final two runs of the game. 

Cumberland improves to 14-20 on the season with the win and will look to take the momentum into the weekend as the Phoenix host Georgetown for a three-game conference set.
