Wooster, Ohio – The Oberlin College baseball team dropped both ends of a doubleheader to NCAC-leading Wooster on Saturday, falling 7-0 and 15-5.
In the nightcap, Oberlin trailed just 3-1 heading into the home half of the fifth inning, but the Scots busted the game wide open by scoring eight runs on six hits and two Yeomen errors in the inning.
Yeomen starter
Mattie DeDoes had a solid game going through four innings, before ultimately being chased during the eight-run fifth. He took the loss after surrendering 11 hits and 11 runs; however, just six of the runs were earned. He walked three and fanned five in the setback.
Oberlin tried to fight its way back into the game, posting a single tally in the sixth, before scoring three in the top of the seventh. The first run of the seventh came courtesy of
Jeff Schweighoffer as he sent
Mitch Novak home on a sac fly to left. Following a pitching change,
Mike McDonald would welcome Matt Felvey into the game by belting a two-run home run over the wall in left for his second round-tripper of the season.
Unfortunately, the Scots would answer right back by scoring four runs in the bottom of the seventh to run-rule the Yeomen.
Oberlin's first run of the afternoon came in the top of the fifth inning in game two on a solo home run over the wall in right field by freshman
Blaise Dolcemaschio. It was the first long ball of his collegiate career.
The Yeomen finished with 10 hits in the game as sophomore
Andrew Hutson led the way by going 3-for-4. McDonald and Novak also had a pair of hits in the loss.
Freshman pitcher
Jesse Kohler took the ball in game one for the Yeomen and pitched admirably as he went all six innings, but still suffered his first loss of the season. He allowed nine hits and seven runs (five earned) while walking four to go along with a career-high five strikeouts.
Unfortunately, for Kohler he was matched up against Scots' senior Keenan White who was simply dominant as he fanned 14 Yeomen in the complete-game four-hitter to improve to 7-0 on the year.
The Yeomen mustered up just four hits off of White with Daniel Baldocchi accounting for two of them.
Sean Cohen and
Robin Witjes had the others.
The Scots touched up Kohler for four hits in the second to score three runs before adding two more in the fourth and two more in the fifth.
With the losses, Oberlin fell to 14-16 overall and 6-6 in the NCAC East. Wooster improved to 22-7 and 9-1 in league play. These same two teams will conclude their four-game game series tomorrow afternoon with another doubleheader. First pitch is set for 12 p.m.
