Baseball Edges Southern Indiana on Friday

Brad Baldwin turned in a 4-for-5 game with three RBI.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- The Wayne State University baseball team (3-1) continued its early season schedule by beginning a three-game series at the Dunn Hospitality Classic.  The Warriors topped host and No. 13 Southern Indiana (1-3) 6-5 on Friday afternoon.  WSU led 6-1 after the top of the fourth inning and held onto win 6-5.

HOW IT HAPPENED
- The Screaming Eagles scored a run on two hits in the bottom of the first inning but starter Chris Horvath (Lakeshore, Ont.) (1-0) was able to strand two runners and limit the damage.  With one out in the top of third inning, Justin Sherman (Ann Arbor, Mich. / Pioneer) singled up the middle and stole second base.  Following a walk to Jeremy Carrell (St. Clair, Mich.), Brad Baldwin (Troy, Mich. / Bishop Foley Catholic) tied the game with an RBI single into left field.  WSU took a 2-1 lead after a Griffin Harms (Bingham Farms, Mich. / Birmingham Groves) RBI.  JT Conti (Trenton, Mich.) followed with a productive groundout to the right side to plate the third run of the inning.  Justin Kelly (Wheaton, Ill. / Wheaton Warrenville South) kept the rally going with an RBI double to left to stretch WSU's lead to 4-1.  Horvath worked around a double, an error and a walk to keep the three-run lead intact.

- Baldwin added two more RBI to his total with a two-run single in the top of the fourth inning.  USI trimmed deficit to 6-2 with a run in the bottom of the fourth inning.  Southern Indiana scored three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning on two hits to make it a one-run game, 6-5.  The Warriors held onto to win the one-run game and improve to 3-1.

AT THE PLATE
- Baldwin powered the Green & Gold offense by going 4-for-5 with three RBI.

ON THE MOUND
- Horvath started and lasted four and 2/3 innings and struck out four batters, while allowing four earned runs on seven hits.  Taylor Horn (Leo, Ind.) allowed a run in his three and 1/3 innings of work.  Tyler Tompson (Farmington, Mich.) worked a quick ninth inning for his first save of the season.

UP NEXT
- WSU will continue the three-day series on Saturday against St. Joseph's with first pitch scheduled for 11:30 a.m. EST.
