Ethell, a senior third baseman, hit home runs in back-to-back games against Luther, driving in three runs each in the first two games of the three-game series. The IIAC’s current leader in hitting (.528) and RBIs (20), he went 4-for-5 with runners in scoring position and fielded all nine chances at third base perfectly. Ethell helped Simpson earn its first sweep in a conference-opening series since 2006.
