Baseball Swept by Davenport

DETROIT -- The Wayne State University baseball team (20-12 overall, 12-8 GLIAC) lost both games on Monday by scores of 11-2 and 9-2 as Davenport (22-14 overall, 15-9 GLIAC) completed the four-game sweep at Harwell Field.  The results make a GLIAC regular season title much tougher for the Warriors with four games left to play.

GAME ONE (L, 2-11)
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Warriors scored first on an RBI triple in the bottom of the first inning from graduate student Michael MacLean (Bloomfield Hills, Mich. / Country Day / The Lawrenceville School).  Davenport answered with a run on two hits and an error in the top of the second inning.

The Panthers used two walks and a hit in the top of third inning to take a 2-1 lead.  DU broke the game open with four runs on three hits and two walks in the top of the fourth inning.  A Grand Slam by Noah Marcoux in the the top of the sixth inning pushed the visitors' advantage to 10-1.  Another run in the sixth made it 11-1.

Freshman CJ Maury (Brampton, Ont. / Mayfield SS) produced WSU's second run of the game with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the sixth inning.

AT THE PLATE
WSU was only able to collect five hits.  MacLean and Maury had RBI, while redshirt sophomore Brett Zimmerman (Frankfort, Mich.) and senior Jacob Finkbeiner (Saline, Mich.) each scored a run.

ON THE MOUND
Junior Chad Sommers (Jonesville, Mich.) (2-3) started and allowed six runs on six hits and six walks before junior Ryan Korolden (Yale, Mich.) allowed four runs in his inning of relief.  Freshman David Thurman (Southfield, Mich. / Detroit Edison) recorded the final six outs and allowed a run on one hit and two walks.

GAME TWO (L, 2-9)
HOW IT HAPPENED
Marcoux put the Panthers on top 2-0 with a two-run double in the top of the third inning.  Davenport added two more runs on two hits and an error in the top of the fifth inning.

DU led 5-0 heading into the bottom of the sixth inning.  A solo home run from MacLean in the bottom of the sixth inning put WSU on the board.  A sac fly in the top of the eighth inning gave DU a 6-1 advantage and three runs, including a two-run home run in the top of the ninth inning made it 9-1.

Singles from junior Rudy Ramirez (Brighton, Mich.) and junior Davis Graham (Grosse Pointe, Mich. / Grosse Pointe South) started the bottom of the ninth inning.  Zimmerman sent an RBI single back up the middle to cut the deficit to 9-2.  However, the rally would run out of gas as back-to-back fielder's choice ended the game.

ON THE MOUND
Karter Fitzpatrick (Monroe, Mich. / Carleton Airport) (4-2) was effective and battled through some tough luck to allow four runs (two earned).  He struck out three batters and surrendered five hits, four walks and hit two batters.  Redshirt senior Jack Schmidt (Fishers, Ind. / Indianapolis Cathedral) allowed five runs in four innings and struck out three batters

UP NEXT
The Green & Gold will play host to Northwood for four games beginning on Friday at 3:30 PM.
