Box Score (PDF) | Championship Fund
ATHENS, Ohio – The Marshall University Baseball team (17-16) picked up a midweek win over the Ohio Bobcats (8-23), 10-5, Wednesday night in Athens, Ohio.
"It's always good to win and keep the momentum going for us," Herd Baseball Head Coach Greg Beals said. "We started out a little slow tonight. I know we scored early, we got some help in that, but once we got to the back half of the game, I really liked how we played."
Jackson Halter. AJ Havrilla, Maika Niu and Elijah Vogelsong all had multi-hit games. Halter reached base in all five of his plate appearances also drawing a walk and being hit by a pitch twice with Niu registering a pair of doubles. Vogelsong tallied three RBI for third time this season.
Havrilla launched his third homer of the season, second against the Bobcats this season, to grab the team-lead in RBI at 26.
The Herd rolled out nine pitchers in the ballgame with Peyton Jackson, Blaine Albright, Fenix DiGiacomo, Tim Baird and Nicholas Weyrich hurling a perfect frame each. Kenyon Collins and Charlie Krebs each had scoreless outings with Krebs earning his third win of the season going 1.2 innings.
MU got on the board early with a Niu two-RBI double, an Ethan Murdoch RBI on a fielder's choice, a Vogelsong RBI single and a Nolan Wilson sacrifice fly to take a 4-0 advantage through the first.
Tyler Kamerer then brought home Havrilla with a bases-loaded walk to make it 5-0 in the second.
However, Ohio three in the bottom of the second and a pair in the bottom of the fifth tie the ballgame 5-5.
Marshall quickly answered in the top of the sixth. A Halter walk and a Niu double put runners in scoring position with one out. Murdoch followed with a groundout that scored Halter to give The Herd a 6-5 led. Kamerer drew another walk and stole second to put a pair in scoring position with two outs. Vogelsong cleared the bags with a single up the middle to extend the lead to three.
With two outs in the seventh, Halter singled to bring up Havrilla. Havrilla added a pair of insurance runs on a two-run blast to give the MU a 10-5 lead.
DiGiacomo, Baird and Weyrich closed out the game with 1-2-3 innings in the seventh, eighth and ninth, respectively/
UP NEXT
Marshall returns to Jack Cook Field for a three-game series against App State beginning at 6 p.m. on Friday.
