Game One Box l Game Two Box

Hiram, Ohio – It was a tale of two drastically different games, but in the end the result was the same – an Oberlin College victory. The Yeomen baseball team completed the four-game NCAC series sweep of Hiram by winning 6-1 and 10-9 on Sunday afternoon.

Oberlin is off to one of its best starts in school history with a record of 4-1 and sits alone atop the NCAC East at 4-0. Furthermore, OC has now swept the conference series against Hiram for the second straight season.

In the lid-lifter, Oberlin got a dominant performance on the mound from senior southpaw Jack Dunn. The Lake Havasu, Arizona, native, shutdown the Terriers' bats, working six innings of scoreless ball that saw him allow just two hits while fanning five along the way. With the victory he also became the school's all-time wins leader with 15 career wins.

It didn't take long for the Yeomen to provide Dunn with the run support he needed as freshman Zach Jaspers led off the game with a double and sophomore Jason James followed behind in the two-hole with his first home run of the season.

In the second inning, rookie Matt Fish would give Oberlin a 4-0 lead with a two-run round-tripper of his own.

Oberlin's scoring came to end in the fifth when sophomore Brandon Cantrill would join the long-ball barrage with yet another two-run blast for his second dinger of the season.

Cantrill, Fish and Jaspers each had two hits in the game.

In the nightcap, the Yeomen had to come-from-behind to get the win as rookie starter Eric Knight got touched up for six runs in the first three innings. However, thanks to a four-run second inning by the Yeomen, they trailed just 6-4 with four innings left to play.

In the fourth inning, the stream of home runs continued for the Yeomen as James came through with his second two-run shot of the day and Dunn, who garnered the win in game one, belted a two-run bomb of his own.

Oberlin added another pair of runs in the fifth on Ben Puterbaugh's second two-RBI single of the game to take a 10-6 lead heading into the home-half of the fifth.

However, the Terriers (3-12, 0-4 NCAC) wouldn't go down without a fight – scoring two runs in the fifth to make it a 10-8 OC advantage. Following a lead-off home run for Hiram in the seventh, Phil Brua was able to bare down to retire next three hitters in order to earn his first save of the season.

The Yeomen are scheduled to host Notre Dame College for a single nine-inning game on Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 p.m.
