University Heights, Ohio – The Oberlin College baseball team scored two runs in the top of the ninth to knockoff the John Carroll University Blue Streaks, 4-3, on Thursday afternoon.
 
Senior Milo Sklar started the ninth with a single to center and would move to third on a JCU error that put runners on the corners with nobody out. Freshman Lawrence Hamilton would then tie the game with an RBI groundout to second before senior Sam Harris drove in the go-ahead run with a clutch two-out run-scoring single to left center to plate Parker Goldstein.
 
Sklar, who came on to get the final two outs of the eighth, got into a jam in the home-half of the ninth as John Carroll loaded the bases with two outs, but the Yeomen senior would get Dominic Mittiga to chop one back to the mound to end the game and run his record to 3-2 on the year. Of the five outs Sklar recorded, three came on strikeouts.
 
David Gaetano also turned in his best performance of the season on the bump, as he worked the front five innings allowing just three hits and two runs (one earned) while walking just one.
 
Oberlin pushed across the game's first runs in the top of the fifth as Harris squeezed in Ian Dinsmore before Jack McGowan followed with an RBI double to the gap in right center.
 
However, JCU would get right back to even in the bottom of the fifth before going out in front in the eighth with a single tally to setup the Yeomen ninth.
 
Oberlin had eight hits in the game, led by Quin Butler and Harris as they each had two hits.
 
The win snapped a four-game slide for the Yeomen and ran their record to 10-21 on the year. JCU dropped back to 17-13.
 
The Yeomen are back in action on Saturday at Kenyon College. First pitch of game one is set for12 p.m.
