Penguins Sweep Wright State With 10-9 Win
Dayton, Ohio -- The Youngstown State baseball team
earned its first Horizon League
four-game sweep beating Wright State
10-9 on Sunday at Nischwitz Stadium
to take all four contests from the
Raiders.
The Penguins (15-21 overall and 10-6 in the Horizon League)
led 10-7 entering the ninth before
Wright State (15-29 overall and
7-12) cut the deficit to 10-9 but
Paul Yates got the final out to
record his third save of the season
and lift YSU to the sweep.
On Sunday, Jim Lipinski and Kendall Schlabach led the
Penguins' offense with three hits
each. Lipinski, Schlabach and Kyle
Smith each scored twice as Lipinski
finished with four RBI and belted a
home run. For the game, YSU had 13
hits.
Chris Dennis pitched four innings for YSU allowing five hits
and five runs, but just one was
earned. Todd Tscherne allowed two
runs -- one earned -- in two innings
while James Swearengen pitched two
scoreless innings striking out
three. Yates pitched the ninth
allowing two runs on two hits and a
walk but struck out two.
Wright State's Chris Tuttle and Nick Shields had three hits
each.
The Penguins are off for final exams until playing their
final league series of the season
against UW-Milwaukee next Friday at
1 p.m. at Cafaro Field. The series
will be a matchup of the
conference's second and third-place
teams. |
