Baseball Struggles Continue at the Berg

Tiffin, Ohio - The Oberlin College baseball team suffered a 13-3 setback at Heidelberg University on Thursday afternoon. 

Rookie right-hander Calvin Burkholder (2-2) made his first start since April 3 and unfortunately did not have his best stuff as the Student Princess roughed him up for 10 runs on 12 hits in three-plus innings of work. 

Freshman classmate Brady Groves led off the game with a home run en route to finishing 3-for-4 with two runs scored but the rest of the Oberlin lineup didn't have much success against the Berg hurlers as the Yeomen had just seven hits in the game. 

Burkholder had an opportunity to get out of the third inning trailing just 4-1, but Reece McNeely delivered a back-breaking two-out, two-run triple and would then come in to score on a wild pitch to swell the Heidelberg lead out to 7-1. 

Facing a 10-1 run differential heading into the fifth, Oberlin would post a pair in the frame on a bases-loaded walk to Ethan Hurwitz before Zach Masnikoff raced home on a wild pitch. 

Micah Rodriguez and Zachary Ritts combined for 2.2 innings of scoreless relief but the final outcome was never in doubt.

The Yeomen have dropped eight in a row, falling back to 11-17 on the year while the Breg moved to 19-11. 

It won't get any easier for the Yeomen as No. 3 Baldwin Wallace University comes to Dill Field on Sunday afternoon for a 1 p.m. crosstown battle.
