Penguins Complete Sweep of Wright State, 5-4
Fairborn, Ohio -- Youngstown State
scored the game's first five runs
and held off a ninth-inning Wright
State rally to complete the series
sweep on Sunday afternoon at
Nischwitz Field.
J.D. Hannan had three hits while Jim Phillips and Dustin
Thomas scored two runs apiece for
the Penguins, who improved to 7-1 in
the Horizon League and 23-15
overall.
Freshman Lucas Engle allowed three runs on four hits in five
innings to improve to 3-1 on the
season. Kevin Libeg allowed a run in
the ninth but held on to pick up his
fourth save of the season.
The Penguins jumped out to a 3-0 lead with three unearned
runs in the second inning on three
hits and a Raider error. Phillips
reached on an error to start the
inning and advanced on a walk to
Thomas. Charles Schultz laid down a
sacrifice bunt to advance the
runners, and Mike Turjanica brought
home Phillips with a sacrifice fly
to center. Josh Page then singled
home Thomas and later scored on a
bunt single from Brandon Caipen.
YSU got two more across in the third to go up 5-0 when
Schultz singled home Phillips and
Turjanica knocked in Thomas with
another sacrifice fly.
Amin Abusaleh hit a two-run single with the bases loaded in
the bottom of the third to get the
Raiders within three, and Brendan
Rubenstein hit an RBI double in the
fifth to cut the margin to two.
Josh Wells, Matt Gnacinski and Libeg teamed up to keep the
Raiders scoreless for the next three
innings while Nate Stevens came in
to throw 5 2/3 innings of scoreless
relief for WSU.
The Raiders loaded the bases with one out in the ninth after
collecting two hits and a walk off
Libeg, but the junior reliever
induced back-to-back ground balls
that led to fielder's choices to
preserve the win.
YSU will play four non-conference contests this week
beginning with a game against Ohio
on Wednesday at 6 p.m. at Eastwood
Field. The Penguins will then travel
to Kent State for a Saturday
doubleheader at 1 p.m. before
playing host to the Golden Flashes
on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Eastwood
Field.
