CHILLICOTHE, Ohio -- The Wayne State University baseball program (4-3 overall) continued its early portion of the 2018 schedule on Saturday with two games against Ohio Dominican (6-3 overall) at V.A. Memorial Stadium.  The Warriors took game one 5-1 before dropping game two 11-0.

GAME ONE (W, 5-1)
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Both teams were quiet until the top of the third inning when WSU scored twice on three hits.  Patrick Adams (Detroit, Mich. / De La Salle) began the frame with a double to right field and Zach Girard (Sleepy Hollow, Ill. / Dundee Crown) followed with an RBI single up the middle and then stole second base.  Devin Rose (Farmington Hills, Mich. / Orchard Lake St. Mary's) singled before a groundout by Brad Baldwin (Troy, Mich. / Bishop Foley Catholic) produced another run.

- Starter Jared Tobey (St. Clair, Mich.) (1-0) was sharp and kept the Panthers off the scoreboard in each of the next three innings.  Baldwin crushed a three-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to extend WSU's lead to 5-0.  Hunter Brown (St. Clair Shores, Mich. / Lakeview) replaced Tobey to begin the seventh inning and allowed a run on two hits but was able to limit the damage and secure the victory.

AT THE PLATE
- Rose and Baldwin and Tristen Jorah (Clinton Twp., Mich. / Sterling Heights Stevenson) all posted two-hit games, while Baldwin drove in a team-best three runs.

GAME TWO (L, 0-11)
HOW IT HAPPENED
- The Panthers scored early and often in game two including three runs on three hits in the bottom of the first inning and another run in the bottom of the second inning.  ODU scored four runs on four hits in the bottom of the third inning and added a solo home run in the fourth.
