The junior helped Catawba win two of three games, hitting a grand slam and collecting seven RBI in the 27-7 win to begin the season.

The Indians had back-to-back eight run frames in the sixth and seventh innings while scoring in each inning but the first. JOHNSON POSTS SIX SHUTOUT FRAMES IN COLLEGIATE DEBUT Freshman Connor Johnson won the rubber game of the three-game series with Belmont Abbey, tossing six innings of scoreless ball.
