Edwardsville Scores Both Run In Fourth, Seven Pitchers Combine On Five-Hit Shutout As Tigers Win Regular Season Finale At Waterloo 2-0

WATERLOO - Edwardsville scored both of its runs in the top of the fourth inning as seven pitchers combined to hold Waterloo to five hits in winning their final regular-season game 2-0 in a Memorial Day morning special Monday at Waterloo's park.

The win gives the Tigers a final regular-season record of 24-11 as Edwardsville hosts an IHSA Class 4A regional this week, starting on Wednesday.

Edwardsville threatened in the top of the third with a pair of walks, while the Bulldogs threatened in the home half when a walk and a double put runners on second and third with two out, but Waterloo failed to score.

The Tigers got the only runs of the game in the top of the fourth, starting with a lead-off walk to Jack Kirgan, and a Tyson Wampler single that put runners at first and second. Nick Chiarodo sacrificed both runners to second and third, with Chiarodo himself reaching on the play, and an RBI single to center by Ty Hunt scored Kirgan and sent Wampler to third, Edwardsville going ahead 1-0. After a strikeout, Sam Nosacono, seeing his first action after returning from injury, stroked an RBI single to score Wampler, but Hunt was thrown out at second for the second out of the inning. A groundout ended the inning, but the Tigers led 2-0.

Chiarodo started on the mound and pitched one inning, allowing no hits or runs while walking none and striking out two. Wampler pitched in the second, also allowing no hits or runs while walking none and striking out none.
