Baseball Takes Series from GVSU

The Warriors came back to win game two on Sunday, 9-8.

DETROIT -- The 19th-ranked Wayne State University baseball program (18-4 overall, 3-1 GLIAC) finished its GLIAC-opening series against Grand Valley State (8-11 overall, 1-3 GLIAC) with a split on Sunday to win the series three games to one.  WSU dropped game one 7-4 and but overcame a five-run first inning by the Lakers in game two to win 9-8.

GAME ONE (L, 4-7)
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Warriors scored first with a run on a Tristen Jorah (Clinton Twp., Mich. / Sterling Heights Stevenson) sacrifice fly to right field in the bottom of the first inning.  GVSU answered with two tuns in the top of the second inning to take a 2-1 lead.  

Back-to-back home runs from Troy Daring, Jr. (Brampton, Ont.) and Noah Miller (Macomb, Mich. / University Liggett) gave the Warriors a 4-2 advantage in the bottom of the second inning.  The Lakers scored five runs on six hits in the top of the seventh inning to take a 7-4 lead and WSU was unable to create any offense in the bottom of the seventh inning.

AT THE PLATE
Michael MacLean (Bloomfield Hills, Mich. / Country Day / The Lawrenceville School) went 2-for-2 with a walk, while Daring, Jr. drove in two runs to go with his two hits.

ON THE MOUND
Dillon McInerney (Richmond, Mich.) worked six innings, allowing four earned runs on seven hits and two walks with three strikeouts.  Richard Hovde (Saline, Mich.) (2-2) allowed the go-ahead run and finished by allowing three total runs in his inning of work.

GAME TWO (W, 9-8)
HOW IT HAPPENED
Grand Valley State jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the top of the first inning with five runs on two hits and three walks.

WSU got on the board in the bottom of the first with a sac fly from Justin Kelly (Wheaton, Ill. / Wheaton Warrenville South).  Daring, Jr. cleared the bases with a double in the bottom of the third to cut the visitor's lead to 5-4.  MacLean gave WSU a 7-5 lead with a three-run home run to left center in the bottom of the fourth inning and Kelly pushed the lead to 8-5 with an RBI single to third base.  Jacob Gleason tied the game at 8-8 with a three-run shot of his own in the top of the fifth inning.

After entering the game as a defensive replacement in the fifth inning, Jacob Badalamenti (Clinton Twp., Mich. / De La Salle) sent his first career home run over the wall in right field to put Wayne State on top 9-8.  Brennan Cox (Taylor, Mich. / Riverview Gabriel Richard) (2-0) kept the Lakers off the scoreboard over the final two inning as WSU collected the one-run triumph. 

AT THE PLATE
MacLean finished 2-for-3 with three RBI, two runs scored and two walks, while Hunter DeLanoy (Hartland, Mich.) went 2-for-5.  Kelly drove in two runs, while Daring, Jr. plated three.

ON THE MOUND
Tyler Waldrop (Grand Ledge, Mich.) battled through four and a 1/3 innings, allowing eight runs on six hits and six walks.  Cox earned the win, pitching four and 2/3 innings and did not allow a run with seven strikeouts.
