The New Albany Eagles clawed back from a 3-0 deficit Thursday night to beat host Grove City 4-3.

Ben Clark's single off the left-field wall (he took second on the throw home) in the top of the seventh drove in what proved to be the winning run.

Reliever Cooper Sullivan closed the door on Grove City with a scoreless bottom of the seventh. He pitched four no-hit innings to earn the win.

Caden Robinson started for New Albany, giving up one earned run and striking out five in three innings.

Garrett Given hit a solo homer for New Albany, and outfielder Oliver Cush robbed Grove City's Zak Sigman of what would have been a two-run homer.

Sigman led off the game's scoring with a two-run double.
