With an 8 and 10 record, the Eagles completed another highly competitive baseball season. It was a demanding and challenging schedule, with several baseball powerhouses including: Grove City Christian, Harvest Prep, Madison Christian, Tree of Life, and three contests with top-ranked Fisher Catholic.
In spite of the difficult schedule, GCA had many positive results. Four year starter and senior captain, Drew Martindale, hit a career best (.445) and was selected 1st team all-MOCAL and 1st team all-district, for the second consecutive season. Senior captain, Aaron Nichols, led the team in hitting with a .510 batting average. He also pitched his way to a team best; 5 victories, 2.42 ERA, and struck out 44 batters in 34.7 innings. Both seniors were named team Co-MVP's and played in the district all star game. Several underclassmen contributed, as well. Juniors, Josh Badal and Zach Wyant, each hit .320. Sophomore, Keegan Parsons, was second on the team with a .473 average and played a stellar first base, committing only one error and a .991 fielding %. Sophomore, Anthony Dowden, also came on strong in the second half of the season; finishing with a .364 batting average. Newcomers, Patrick Thomas (.354) and Chase Broady (.400), show lots of promise for the next season. The coaching staff of Steve Martindale, Rick Sibert, and 12th year head coach, Scott Jemson, is optimistic about the next season. To view baseball game schedules, click the following link:
