He finished the fall season with a 7-0 record and an ERA of 0.78 in 46 innings.

The Captains took the lead with a three-run rally in the bottom of the fifth inning. Brendan Busby (Ridgefield) led off with a walk and Justin Heinsohn (Ridgefield) reached on perfectly executed bunt down the first-base line. After a passed ball advanced the runners, Gythfeldt dropped a suicide-squeeze bunt to tie the game.

With two outs and runners on second and third, Grady Gernert (Ridgefield)  singled on a 2-2 count, scoring Heinsohn and Gythfeldt to put the Captains ahead 5-3.
