Baseball Sweeps Doubleheader to End Florida Trip

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. -- The Wayne State University baseball team (12-5) finished its Florida trip with two wins over Southwest Baptist (5-16) on Saturday.  The Warriors took game one 5-1 before closing out Spring Break with a 7-4 victory.

GAME ONE (W, 5-1)
HOW IT HAPPENED
WSU took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning.  Hunter DeLanoy (Hartland, Mich.) drove in two runs with a single into right field. 

The Bearcats loaded the bases in the top of the fifth inning but a Karter Fitzpatrick (Monroe, Mich. / Carleton Airport) (3-0) strikeout allowed WSU to escape without giving any any runs.

Logan Tobel (Brighton, Mich. / Hartland) smacked his second home run of the season out to center field, giving the Warriors a 3-0 advantage in the bottom of the fifth inning.  SBU used two hits in the top of the sixth inning to trim the Wayne State lead to 3-1.

DeLanoy added a run in the bottom of the sixth inning with a home run to right field.  A sacrifice fly from Ryan Foley (Ann Arbor, Mich. / Saline) made it 5-1.

GAME TWO (W, 7-4)
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Green & Gold lineup flexed its muscle early in the top of the first inning with three runs on two hits and an error.  An error allowed the first run of the game to score before Michael MacLean (Bloomfield Hills, Mich. / Country Day / The Lawrenceville School) blasted a two-run home run over the wall in left field to make it 3-0.

The Warriors added three more runs in the top of the third inning.  MacLean singled home a run before Tobel collected an RBI single and Rudy Ramirez (Brighton, Mich.) pushed WSU ahead 6-0 with an RBI single into right field.

The Bearcats posted a run in the third and three runs in the fourth to trim their deficit to two, 6-4.
