Granville, Ohio – The Oberlin College baseball team recorded its 18^th win of the season – tying a school record – with a 6-4 victory in game two after dropping game one 10-9 in nine innings to Denison University on Saturday afternoon.
 
Oberlin, which already matched a school record with nine wins in NCAC play, now sits at 18-18 on the year with four more regular season games left on the schedule.
 
Rookie Harrison Wollman continued to impress on the mound as he worked 4.1 innings in game two en route to securing his third win of the season. The Palisades, California, native, allowed six hits and three runs while walking three and striking out three. Classmate Jesse Kohler came in to lock down his second straight save as he recorded the final seven outs while giving up just one run and three hits.
 
The Yeomen opened up the scoring account in the top of the third with a pair of runs. Andrew Hutson started the inning with a single back up the box and would later score on a sac fly by Mitch Novak. Junior Sean Cohen would then send rookie Blaise Dolcemaschio across on a single to center to make it 2-0 in favor of the Yeomen.
 
The Big Red would cut the lead in half with a solo tally in the fourth, but the Yeomen would explode for four runs in the top of the fifth.  Junior Mattie DeDoes would start the rally with a clutch pinch-hit two-run double to center field. Senior Eric Knight would then follow with a towering two-run home run over the wall in left to make it a 6-1 Yeomen advantage. It was his team-leading third round-tripper of the season.
 
The Big Red would ultimately chase Wollman by responding with two runs in the bottom of the fifth, but Kohler would get of trouble in the fifth and would then pitch through a dicey situation in the seventh to finish off the victory.
 
In game one the Yeomen built up a 7-1 cushion through two innings, but could not make it stand up. Normally hindered by the lack of run support, Knight pitched into the fifth and left with an 8-4 lead, but the Big Red battled back to tie it and force extra innings.
 
After the letdown of seeing the lead slip away, the Yeomen responded by scratching out a run in the top of the eighth on an RBI groundout by Jeff Schweighoffer that scored Robin Witjes who singled earlier in the inning. However, Big Red shortstop Kyle Clemmenson would answer back with a solo home run in the bottom of the frame to once again even things up.
 
The Yeomen would threaten again in the ninth, but Ryan Bliss would be gunned down at the plate to end the inning as he was trying to score from second on Novak's single to center.

The bottom of the ninth started with a Yeomen error. What followed was a hit to right center and a wild pitch that allowed the game-winning run to score.
 
All of Oberlin's seven runs in the second inning came with two outs. With a run already home on a wild pitch, Novak delivered the first big blow with a 3-run double to left center. Mike McDonald would then follow with an RBI double of his own before a critical Denison error that resulted in two more runs to score.
 
The Big Red, who posted a single tally in the first, chipped away at the lead by scoring a pair in the fourth. However, freshman Brian Hemmert would get one of those runs back in the fifth as he delivered a run-producing single through the left side to score Hutson who led off the inning with a double.
 
The Big Red would execute a double steal to post a single tally in the fifth to make it 8-4 before tying the game with four runs in the home half of the sixth. The first two hitters would reach off of Knight to chase him from the game, but unfortunately McDonald was unable to limit the damage.
 
Denison would use a sac fly, three singles and a walk to tie the game off of the Yeomen reliever and ultimately setup the extra-inning finish.
 
In five-plus innings, Knight was charged six earned runs on nine hits. He walked one and struck out one in the no-decision. McDonald fell to 4-2 on the year as he took the loss after allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits in 3.1 innings. He walked one and recorded three punchouts.
 
The Yeomen will be back in action on Tuesday afternoon when they host Ohio Northern University for a single nine-inning game at 4 p.m.
