Penguins Take Doubleheader from Wright State, 6-4, 5-3
    Dayton, Ohio -- The Youngstown State baseball team (15-21 and 9-6 in the Horizon League) used timely hitting and solid pitching to earn a doubleheader sweep over Wright State winning 6-4 and 5-3 on Saturday afternoon at Nischwitz Stadium.
    In the first game Youngstown state capitalized on five Raider errors to win 6-4. The Penguins scored two runs in the top of the seventh inning to seal the victory. Tim Lipinski reached on a error and scored the go ahead run when he was driven in by a Clint Ford double, who then then scored on a fielding error by second baseman Tom Bohr when Mark Nightingale hit a comebacker to the mound.
    Matt Brumit improved to 3-4 on the season for the Penguins, pitching sixth innings, allowing four runs on nine hits, while striking out nine batters. Mike Abdalla picked up his second save of the season when he shut down the Raiders in the bottom of the seventh.
    Senior Nathan Kopp fell to 0-3 on the season. Kopp went all seven innings for the Raiders, giving up six runs -- two earned -- on seven hits, while striking out nine batters.
    In game two Youngstown State designated hitter Mark Nightingale provided all the offense the Penguins needed in a 5-3 victory. Nightingale went 2-2, with two home runs, four RBI's and two runs scored.
    Senior Nick Shields (Rockford, IL/Harlem H.S.) led the way offensively for the Raiders, going 2-4, with his fifth home run of the season.
    Corey Ohalek improves to 4-5 on the season for Youngstown State. Ohalek pitched five innings, allowing two runs on eight hits, while striking out eight batters. Clint Ford pitched the bottom of the seventh inning to pick up his second save of the season.
    Senior Brian Stephens fell to 4-7 on the season, pitching a complete seven innings, allowing five runs -- four earned -- on nine hits, while striking out five batters.
    Wright State is now 15-28 on the season and 7-11 in the Horizon League. The Raiders will host Youngstown State at Nischwitz Stadium for the game four tomorrow, May 5, scheduled for 1 p.m. start.
