The Orange baseball team won its Big 8 Conference opener over East Chapel Hill on Tuesday night. Catcher Ethan Guentensberger went 2-for-4 with 4 RBIs as the Panthers won 9-4 at Panther Baseball Field. In the bottom of the third inning with the Panthers trailing 1-0, Guentensberger lined a two-out single to right field to score Bryce Clark and Will Walker. That hit led to shortstop Joey Berini sending a grand slam over the centerfield wall. In the sixth inning, Guentensberger sent a double to right centerfield to score Walker and Connor Funk for Orange’s final runs of the game. Ethan is the younger brother of former Orange right fielder Colin Guentensberger, who is now a walk-on linebacker at Appalachian State. Ethan has started four games at catcher so far this season for the Panthers. Coming into Tuesday’s game, Guentensberger had walked six times and has been hit by pitches twice. Orange will travel to East Chapel Hill on Friday afternoon.
