PLATTEVILLE, Wis. – The Edgewood College Eagles baseball squad took a non-conference road trip Wednesday. They played against the UW-Platteville Pioneers. The Eagles (16-10) took care of business, cruising to a 10-1 victory over the Pioneers (10-16) as they had stellar days in all facets of the game. Junior
Connor Goodwin broke the program's single-season steals record with his three steals.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- After a mostly uneventful first two innings, the Eagles struck in the third. A
Joseph Kalafut triple brought in a pair of runs.
- The Pioneers struggled all day, recording three hits and three errors. Their lone run came in the fourth with a single to right field.
- Edgewood College broke the game open in the fifth. A single from
Kyle Prindle through the left side sent two home, while
Brevin Brisack singled to right to leave things at 6-1.
- The Eagles would take on four more insurance runs before the day was done. Prindle walked in a run in the sixth, while a passed ball let Goodwin grab home in the eighth.
Brooks Kalscheur singled a run through the left side in the ninth, while
Dylan Carrington finished the day with a double to left field to finalize the rout.
- Goodwin reached base three times and swiped three bags while accounting for three runs. Prindle was two-for-three at the plate with a pair of walks and three RBIs.
- Grosse was unhittable on the mound, throwing 15 strikeouts in seven innings pitched while allowing two hits and three walks.
BEYOND THE BOX SCORE

- Grosse's 15 strikeouts in a single game was one shy of tying the single game mark, set by Dave Scheidell in on May 6, 2022.
