YOUR HAMILTON JOES WIN THE 2024 GLSCL CHAMPIONSHIP! On Wednesday night, the Joes played the Muskegon Clippers for game 2 of the championship run. With the game ended with a run-rule score, the Joes blew the Clippers out of

the water with a final score of 13-3.

The scores start at the bottom of the 2nd with an Eli Kieser double that drove in Tommy Harrison and Jude Allen. Ryan Novak also hit a double in the bottom of the 3rd, along with Tommy Harrison’s single in the same inning. Both at-bats drove in runs including Charlie Niehuas, Cam Gilkerson, and Ryan Novak, bringing the score to 5-0. Paul Osting was first up to bat in the bottom of the 4th, and started it off with a bang, driving one over the back wall for a solo home run. Later on in the inning, Cam Gilkerson and Ryan Novak both crossed home, bringing the score to 8-1. A Tommy Harrison single allows Cam Gilkerson to score in the bottom of the 6th, and our last 4 runs were scored in the 7th from Paul Osting, Charlier Niehaus, Brayden Fraasman, and Ryan Novak, totaling the score to a final 13-3.

Our winning pitcher of the night was Eric Rawlings. Rawlings pitched a total of 3 innings, totaling 5 strikeouts and posting a 1.29 ERA on the mound. 

As our 2024 season comes to an end, we would love to thank our players, coaches, staff, and volunteers for making this season wonderful. We would also love to thank everyone who came out to the games to witness all the hard work everyone has put in to bring you a great baseball season. We can’t wait for what the 2025 season brings to us as we take the journey for our 6th championship. Let’s go Joes!
