Oberlin, Ohio – John Carroll University scored in all but one inning en route to beating the Oberlin College baseball team, 11-3, on a chilly afternoon at Dill Field.
Freshman right-hander
Jakob Kustin made his first-career start on the mound, going 3.2 innings while allowing six runs on six hits to go along with one walk and one strikeout.
JCU led 6-0 through four innings before the Yeomen got on the board in the fifth on a
Max Cairo single through the right side that plated
William Heffernan. However, Landen Glaser responded with his second home run in as many games to push the lead back out to 7-1.
Junior
Chris Wolfe would lift his second home run of the season over the wall in right field in the seventh to make it 7-2 but the Blue Streaks would put the game away for good with a pair of runs in each of the seventh and eighth innings.
The Yeomen's final run of the game came in the top of the ninth as junior
Max Anastasio belted his first-career home run over the right field wall.
Andrew Shen went 2.1 innings out of the Yeomen bullpen, allowing one run on three hits.
Zachary Ritts,
Ben Borzekowski and
Jay Aghanya also appeared on the bump in the setback.
