Pirates clinch EIAC crown

Greensburg traveled to Lawrenceburg Tuesday evening to play
Lawrenceburg. The biggest part of that story is, if this game were
played at another level, the traveling secretary should have had a
case of bubbly with him. It would be time to celebrate as
Greensburg claimed the Eastern Indiana Athletic Conference (EIAC)
crown behind the power pitching of their ace, Alex Meyer.
Had Meyer been pitching a nine-inning game and maintained the
average number of strikeouts the final two innings, he would have
notched an eye-popping 21 strikeouts. Still 17 Ks in seven innings
will pop a few eyes.
Meyer, who entered the game 49th in the state in the number of
strikeouts, had been registering 8.4 strikeouts per game. That
average was the sixth best in the state. Adding 17 more strikeouts
and one more game, he now averages striking out 9.5 strikeouts per
game, third best in the state.
