Rochester's baseball seniors celebrated Senior Night by going a combined 5-for-6 with seven RBI, four runs scored and the walk-off hit to cap a 5-inning 13-3 TRC win over Whitko.
The Rochester win coupled with Northwestern's 10-6 loss to Peru and a Maconaquah 5-0 victory over Northfield means Rochester (18-5, 6-2 TRC) can claim a share of the conference title with a win over Lewis Cass on Wednesday.
Northwestern and Macoanauqh, also 6-2 in the TRC, will also play Wednesday.
Zebra senior Tanner Reinartz smacked a 2-run homer in the first, followed by an RBI single in the third, and a walk-off 3-run double in the fifth. On the night, Reinartz went 3-for-3, with a walk, three runs scored, and six runs batted in.
Fellow senior Drew Bowers was 2-for-3 at the plate with a run and RBI. Another senior, James Garner, walked in his only plate appearance.
Also for Rochester, sophomore Parker Casper went 2-for-3, including a 2-run triple. He also walked and scored three times. Freshman Linden Wilburn was also 2-for-3, with three runs scored. Brant Beck added a 2-run single.
Carson Paulik pitched a complete game and earned the win. He gave up six hits, three runs, walked two and struck out eight.
