Baseball Pushes Winning Streak to Eight

The 19th-ranked Warriors beat GVSU twice on Saturday.

DETROIT -- The 19th-ranked Wayne State University baseball team (17-3 overall, 2-0 GLIAC) hosted Grand Valley State (7-10 overall, 0-2 GLIAC) to open the GLIAC season on Saturday. The Warriors took game one 3-0 behind a complete game shutout from Hunter Brown (St. Clair Shores, Mich. / Lakeview) (3-0) before winning game two 7-2.

GAME ONE (W, 3-0)
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Warriors led 1-0 after a Hunter DeLanoy (Hartland, Mich.) RBI single in the bottom of the first inning.  Another DeLanoy RBI single in the bottom of the third inning pushed the home lead to 2-0.  

Michael MacLean (Bloomfield Hills, Mich. / Country Day / The Lawrenceville School) sent a moon shot over the wall in left field in the bottom of the fifth inning, giving the Green & Gold a 3-0 lead.

Brown stranded two Lakers in the sixth and set down three of the four batters he faced in the seventh to seal the victory.

AT THE PLATE
DeLanoy went 2-for-3 with two RBI, while MacLean scored three runs.

Two more hits and a GVSU error in the bottom of the fourth inning gave Wayne State a 4-0 lead.  Chris Tanderys (Livonia, Mich.) scored from second on a throwing error, while Jacob Finkbeiner (Saline, Mich.) plated a run with a single through the right side.

Another Lakers' error in the fifth inning gave the Warriors a 5-0 lead.  MacLean doubled home a run in the bottom of the sixth inning, extending the lead to 6-0.  A solo home run accounted for GVSU's first run of the day in the seventh inning.  Another double from Finkbeiner in the eighth inning produced a run.  GVSU added a run in the ninth inning to make the final score 7-2.
