Tell City edges Evansville Harrison 8-7 in road baseball win

Tell City kept its momentum alive with an 8-7 road win over Evansville Harrison on Wednesday, April 29, a one-run result that pushed the Marksmen to 5-7 and gave Perry County another late-season baseball result with real weight. In a county that had an estimated population of 19,389 in 2025, every high school win tends to travel fast, and this one mattered because it came away from home and stayed tight to the final outs.

Drew Greulich supplied the steadiest production in the middle of the order, going 3-for-4 with two runs and two RBI. Mason Baker added a 2-for-4 night with two RBI, one run and a double, while Dean Underwood finished 2-for-4 with two runs. The balanced line was the difference for Tell City, which did not need a single big swing to control the game and instead spread the offense across several hitters.

Evansville Harrison fell to 3-11 and lost its ninth straight game, but the result was far from routine. It was another one-run meeting between the programs, and the away team has now won four straight games in the series. That pattern gave the outcome extra significance for Tell City, which needed to prove it could finish in a close road game against an opponent from the Southern Indiana Athletic Conference.

The timing also added to the stakes. The Indiana high school baseball state tournament series begins May 27, leaving teams only a few weeks to settle lineups, sharpen late-game pitching and build confidence. For Tell City, the win over Evansville Harrison offered both a clean result and a useful marker heading into the stretch run.

Tell City’s next listed game was at Boonville at 5 p.m. on Thursday, April 30, a quick turnaround that made the Harrison win even more valuable. For a program trying to stack results before sectional play, an 8-7 road finish was the kind of game that can help shape the rest of the season.
