Glenn grad Berger earns first college win
GEORGETOWN — In their first appearance of the 2020 spring season, the Indiana University South Bend baseball team split its doubleheader on Saturday at Georgetown College (RV) defeating the Tigers 2-0 in game one before falling in game two, 8-3.
Freshman Robbie Berger enjoyed success at the mound in the series opener, earning his first collegiate win and giving the Titans their first win of the year. The South Bend, Ind. native tossed a complete game, allowing just five hits and struck out six.
During game one, IU South Bend’s offense scored two runs on four hits to secure the victory. It was the first win over Georgetown College since 2018 when IUSB came away with an 8-2 decision on the road.
Sophomore Logan Young led the Titans at the plate going 2-for-3 with two singles and an RBI while senior TJ DeHerrera went 1-for-3 with a double, one run scored and one RBI. The final hit came from senior Austin Thomas as the infielder doubled down the right-field line in the second inning.
The Tigers garnered hits against Berger in the first, second, fourth, fifth and seventh but nothing Berger and the rest of the Titan defense couldn’t handle as the freshman improved to 1-0 this season.
