Game Two Box
Wooster, Ohio – Game one started out as a pitcher's duel, but quickly turned for the worse as the No. 7 College of Wooster Scots went on to beat the Oberlin College baseball 16-3 and 12-0 on Sunday afternoon to complete the four-game series sweep of the Yeomen.
“We just got to find a way to avoid the big inning,” head coach
Eric Lahetta said. “We just didn't make the plays in key situations and that really hurt us today.”
After a scoreless three innings for both squads, the Yeomen used three-straight hits by
Brian Verne,
Ben Puterbaugh and
Jeremy Simon to load the bases with one down in the fourth.
Brandon Cantrill followed with a fielder's choice RBI, but that would be only run Oberlin would muster as they left runners on the corners.
Junior southpaw
Jack Dunn cruised through the front three frames as he registered seven strikeouts and allowed just one hit, but control problems plagued him in the fourth. After recording the first out of the inning, he walked back-to-back hitters and followed with back-to-back hit-by-pitches to plate the first Wooster run. Three hits later the Scots had six runs home and a 6-1 advantage.
Verne notched his sixth RBI of the season in the fifth on a fielder's choice that sent
Phil Brua plate-ward as he led off the inning with an opposite-field double to left – making it a 6-2 game, but Wooster responded with a single tally in the fifth and nine in the sixth to secure the win.
In game two, the Scots (19-3, 8-0 NCAC East) picked up right where they left off with six runs over the first two innings and never looked back.
The Scots' Mark Miller actually pitched a complete game no-hitter in which he fanned 11 Yeomen hitters.
Oberlin (7-15, 0-4 NCAC East) will try to bounce back next weekend when it travels to Kenyon for a four-game set against Lords.
