Box Score
Â
ATHENS, Ohio – The Marshall University baseball team (10-7-1) dropped a road contest on Wednesday to the Ohio Bobcats (7-6), 6-3, in Athens, Ohio.
Â
The Herd did not wait long to get on the board. In the top of the first, Christian Lucio doubled down the right-field line with one out. Cole Williams followed with a single to left field, scoring Lucio and putting Marshall up 1-0.
Â
Marshall starting pitcher Chad Heiner gave up a two-out single in the bottom of the first, but retired the next 10 Bobcats he faced to have Marshall up 1-0 through four innings.
Â
Spencer Harbert tied the game for Ohio in the bottom of the fifth with a leadoff homer.
Â
Heiner rebounded and concluded his outing with a 1-2-3 frame in the bottom of the sixth. The right-handed pitcher retired 18 of the 21 batters he faced.
Â
Ohio benefitted from a Marshall error in the bottom of the seventh and plated three unearned runs to take a 4-1 lead.
Â
With one out in the top of the eighth, Travis Sankovich drew a walk, Daniel Carinci was hit-by-a-pitch and Kyle Schaefer walked to load the bases. Jordon Billups stepped up to the plate. Billups hit a grounder to third baseman Colin Kasperbau. Kasperbau touched third to get Carinci out, but made an arid throw to first as Sankovich and Schaefer scored on the Billups RBI fielder's choice to cut the deficit to 4-3.
Â
The Bobcats added a pair of insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth to go up 6-3. Marshall was unable to muster any runs in the top of the ninth as it fell on the road.
Â
Lucio went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles in the loss.
