Meadville, PA – The Oberlin College baseball team will look to have a short memory and erase today's performance from its minds as the Allegheny College Gators bested the Yeomen 10-3 two times on Saturday afternoon.
 
Coming off the mid-week sweep at the hands of Case Western, Oberlin has now dropped four straight to fall back to 13-18 overall and an even 5-5 in the NCAC East. The Gators also overtook the Yeomen for second place in the division for the time being as they are now 6-4 in conference action and 14-12 overall.
 
In game one, the Yeomen took an early 3-0 in the top of the second, but mustered just two more hits the rest of the way as the Gators broke through with five runs in the fourth before adding five more in the fifth.
 
A two-out RBI single by Quin Butler plated the Yeomen's first run and then senior John Evans followed with a two-run double down the left field line to score Butler and Blaise Dolcemaschio.
 
Yeomen senior starter Harrison Wollman cruised through the front three innings before running into trouble in the fourth.  The Gators used four hits, a walk and an error to score five runs in the frame. It was Joe Shick who delivered the big blow as he lifted a grand slam down the left field line to give the Gators the lead with one swing of the bat. It was second grand slam Yeomen pitching allowed this week.
 
The normally sold Oberlin bullpen couldn't stop the bleeding as the Gators repeated themselves with four hits coupled with an Oberlin error to add on five more in the fifth to completely deflate the Yeomen.
 
Chase Boyer went the distance for the Gators, moving to 4-1 on the year as he sprinkled six hits and one walk while fanning seven Oberlin hitters.
 
Junior Brian Carney had two of the Yeomen's six hits in the game.
 
In game two the first-inning woes continued for sophomore right-hander Sean Kiley as he has now given up three runs in the first in each of his last three starts.  Two hits, a hit batter and a walk spelled trouble for the Studio City, California, native.
 
The Gators would scratch out single tallies in the third and fifth innings as Kiley departed, trailing 5-0. In total he surrendered six hits, five runs (four earned), and three walks. He also struck out three while falling to 1-3 on the season. 
 
The Yeomen offense certainly didn't help matters much with just two hits in the first and one in the third. They would finally get on the board in the seventh, but the game was already out of hand at that point as the Gators took advantage of two errors, two hits, two walks and a hit-by-pitch to score five runs in the bottom of the sixth to go up 10-0.
 
Oberlin would get its three runs on a bases-loaded walk to Jake Reynolds, an RBI single by Evans and an RBI groundout by Justin Cruz.
 
The Gators didn't use a single reliever on the afternoon, as Wyatt Sibiga needed just 104 pitches to get through all nine innings and run his record to 3-3. He allowed seven hits and two walks while racking up six Yeomen on strikes.
 
The Yeomen will need a doubleheader sweep tomorrow to salvage a series split with the Gators. First pitch of game one is set for 12 p.m.
