Ashland University's baseball team is accomplishing things the program hasn't seen in a long time.
Â
On Saturday (March 16) afternoon at Tomassi Stadium and Donges Field at the Archer Ballpark Complex, the Eagles improved to 12-1 after a 7-5 win over Davenport (3-15). This is Ashland's best 13-game start in head coach
John Schaly's tenure, and the best for the program since 1987 (also 12-1).
Â
The Eagles' big inning on Saturday came in the bottom of the third, when they scored three runs on a Panther error and RBI doubles from sophomore catcher
Collin Overholt and junior first baseman
Ben Peltz.

POST-GAME NUGGETS

- Junior right-hander Ethan Stevens (2-0) earned the relief win after 1 1/3 scoreless innings, and senior righty Justin Dyksma picked up save No. 3 in 2024 after 2 1/3 scoreless frames.
