EHS opens with shutout against Greenville
For the opening game of the season the Edwardsville Tigers looked fairly efficient on Tuesday at Tom Pile Field.
The Tigers threw a combination of five pitchers, striking out 11, walking six and scattering three hits in an 8-0 shutout of the Greenville Comets.
Offensively, EHS racked up seven hits including a leadoff triple by Blake Graham, an RBI double from Drew Curtis and a three-run homer from Alec Pizzini in the fifth inning.
Edwardsville head coach Tim Funkhouser was pleased with how his team opened the season.
"I thought we had some pretty good approaches early on (at the plate)," he said. "As the course of the game went on we hit some fly balls and we need to do better with two strikes, but overall being able to see some different pitchers other than our own guys I thought we centered up some balls and showed some power at times. We made some good plays in the field and I thought our pitchers, even if they lost command at times, continued to work through that and made some pitches."
It was no surprise to Greenville head coach Todd Hutchinson that the Tigers looked in mid-season form on Tuesday.
"The thing we know about Edwardsville is they're a class act and coach Funkhouser and coach (Mike) Waldo and those guys do a great job," Hutchinson said. "We know they're going to have great pitching. I thought they threw strikes and we got some guys on at times, but just couldn't get a hit or two to push a run across."
After starting pitcher Zack Sparks — who picked up the win on Tuesday — sat the Comets down in order during the top of the first it didn't take long for the EHS bats to heat up.
Graham led off the game rocketing a fly ball to deep center field. As Greenville center fielder Seth Lohman sprinted back to snag the hit, it continued to carry and caromed off of his glove. The fleet-of-foot Graham motored his way to third with a leadoff triple.
"He's key to us," Funkhouser said of Graham. "Last year he started out slow in the spring and then really came on in the summer and he's really picked up from there and gone about his business well and really showed some mature swings."
With one out and Graham perched on third, designated hitter Drew Curtis stepped to the plate and flipped an opposite-field RBI double into the right field corner.
Curtis, who was playing in the starting lineup for the third-place Tiger basketball team on Saturday, hasn't had much work with the bat yet this spring so the approach pleased Funkhouser.
"He's used to hitting 3-pointers and now he's batting in the No. 3 hole," Funkhouser joked. "You could tell yesterday when we threw batting practice to him that he's an exceptional hitter and he's able to go right back at it. He's got a lot of ability and for him to make that transition quick is just a credit to him."
Curtis was surprised to even be on the field Tuesday after being focused on basketball the past few months and not being able to put in the work with his baseball teammates.
"You can't be anything but happy to be out here playing," Curtis said. "I honestly didn't think I'd be playing at all regardless if it were on the field or DHing. Coach had enough confidence to put me in here and I worked hard yesterday to get ready. It was a little bit of a culture shock, but it's kind of like riding a bike, after a while you find it again. I found a pitch, drove it the other way and kind of knocked some of the rust off. I couldn't ask for a better day."
EHS tacked on runs in the second and third innings to take a 3-0 edge.
Jordan Hovey got a one-out a hit in the second and scored after a couple of Comet errors. In the third inning, Curtis coaxed a leadoff walk and later scored on an RBI single by Tyler Worthey.
The Tigers were really able to break it open in the fifth when Pizzini cracked a three-run home run to right center field to make it 6-0.
"I told him I've never mishit a home run to the opposite field like he did," Funkhouser said of Pizzini. "He didn't even center that ball well. I remember Jeremy Loemker, one of the better hitters we've had, he'd hit a ball to the scoreboard and not totally square it up, but hit it out of the park and sure enough, (Pizzini) hits one opposite field today and with the new bats there are no cheap home runs. That was a big part of the game."
Alex Meyers followed with a walk and after Worthey struck out, Hutchinson pulled starting pitcher Clint Meadows.
"I thought Clint did a great job for us through four and I kept him in too long," said Hutchinson. "He'd thrown 60 and had another inning I thought and it just fell apart in a hurry."
Austin Werner drew a walk from new pitcher Josh Laesch and a sac fly from Hovey and an infield, RBI base knock from Jacob Fisher raised the EHS lead to 8-0.
Sparks, combined with Cole Hagen, Meyers, Max Rolens and Matt Owens to lock down the shutout.
On the bases the Tigers utilized their team speed to swipe nine bases and help generate some offense.
"I don't think we felt like we had to steal because of our hitters, but we saw some things from the other team that gave us opportunities and we wanted to take advantage of it," Funkhouser said. "We have some guys in our order that are pretty versatile."
Edwardsville is now back in action on the road at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday at Springfield Sacred Heart-Griffin and at 4:15 p.m. Friday at Parkway Central.
The Tigers return home at 4:30 p.m. Monday against Jerseyville.

Henkel Looking To ExpandCatherine Kinney (Author) Published Date : Jul 06, 2014 16:04 ET
Micro Cap Research
Henkel the consumer goods group from German is looking to expand their business by taking over some products to improve their reputations as they already announced two big deals last month.
The finance chief of the group Carsten Knobel informed that they do not rule out larger takeovers in those areas.
The three major business of the group Beauty Care, Laundry & Home Care and Adhesive Technologies has been their main part to expand in future.
Henkel already made a deal with the French product Spotless a cleaner maker along with other three hair care brands of US and looking forward to expand their business since last year to stay at the market in the competition with their rivals.
The main area of this market is to get hold of some products in the prospect countries informed the finance chief of the company.
He also added that they are not thinking about any specific focus rather than they are more concerned over the quality and the price which will be easy for the consumers.
At the same time the group is looking to add latest technologies on their adhesive business while Knobel also turned down the rumor of giving cash rewards to the share holders.
That is currently not an option. Investments in further development of the company, including acquisitions, remain the best way to increase value in the interest of shareholders, he said.
