Yetis Baseball Rolls Through Four-Game Stretch, Grigg Notches 100th Career Win

The Cleveland Community College Yetis put together a strong four-game run from February 18–22, mixing timely extra-base hits with steady work on the mound. During the Wake Tech series, Head Coach John Grigg also secured his 100th career win as the Yetis' head coach—an important milestone in the continued growth of the program.

The Yetis came out swinging and built a big early cushion, scoring seven runs in the first three innings.

• Rosario powered the offense again with a two-run homer and finished with three RBIs.

• Hartley had a monster day at the plate, going 3-for-5 with a three-run triple and three RBIs.

Cleveland's offense erupted again, posting a huge six-run third inning and then holding on down the stretch.

• Timothy Negron delivered the headline performance: 3-for-4 with five RBIs, including a bases-clearing homer that broke the game open.

• Britt provided an early spark with a two-run home run and finished with three RBIs.

• Brooks Hubbard added an RBI and continued to give Cleveland quality at-bats in run-producing spots.

The finale turned into a grinder, and Cleveland won it with pitching, defense, and just enough timely offense.

• Hartley came through with the decisive swing—a go-ahead RBI single in the seventh. 

• Negron drove in the first Yetis run earlier and helped manufacture offense in a low-scoring game.

• Caleb Cloninger gave Cleveland a strong start, and Brady Raye slammed the door with two scoreless innings to earn the save. 

Across the stretch, the Yetis got impact production from the top and middle of the lineup—Hartley, Britt, Rosario, Negron, and Estes—while the pitching staff continued to stack quality innings. And with Coach John Grigg's 100th career win coming during the Wake Tech set, the weekend carried extra meaning as Cleveland kept building momentum.
