AU Baseball Moves To 3-0 In Florida, Wins Fourth In A Row Overall

A strong combined pitching effort and just enough offense led Ashland University's baseball team to a third straight Florida win and a fourth consecutive victory overall, 3-0, over St. Cloud State on Saturday (March 7) night.
 
The Eagles are 7-5, and the Huskies are 8-7.
 
Thanks to a two-out RBI single from sophomore center fielder Sean Krueckeberg, Ashland jumped on top in the bottom of the second inning. Junior catcher Nate King's two-RBI double in the third put the Eagles up 3-0.
 
Junior right-handed pitcher Griffin Ailes (1-1) didn't need more support than that – and didn't allow a hit in the first 4 2/3 innings. He finished with a one-hit shutout over the first seven innings, striking out six and walking two.
 
Freshman second baseman Max Albert added the fourth and final Eagle run in the eighth on an RBI bunt out.
 
THE 'PEN FINISHES IT OFF
  • Senior righty David Smith threw a scoreless eighth, then graduate righty Chase Carter finished with a scoreless ninth.
  • King was 2-for-3 with a double and two RBIs in the victory.
  • The win was Ashland's first shutout of 2026, and its fifth errorless game in the last six outings.
COMING UP
A fourth Florida game in four days on Sunday (March 8) at 1 p.m. vs. Winona State (5-5).
