No. 14 AU Baseball Sweeps Storm, Takes Three Of Four In Great Midwest Series

The No. 14-ranked Ashland University baseball team took both ends of Sunday's (March 24) doubleheader from Lake Erie at Tomassi Stadium and Donges Field at the Archer Ballpark Complex, 7-1 and 6-3, to win three of four games in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference series.
 
With the two victories, the Eagles improve to 16-3 overall and 3-1 in the Great Midwest, while the Storm moves to 11-12, 3-5.
 
In a four-run bottom of the fourth inning in the opener, Ashland scored on a passed ball, a bases-loaded walk drawn by graduate shortstop Devin Hukill, an RBI from junior center fielder Cam Miller and a Storm error on the play.
 
Then, in the bottom of the fifth, junior left fielder Ian Sanders was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, then Hukill lifted a sacrifice fly, to make it a 6-0 contest.
 
Lake Erie dented the scoreboard in the top of the sixth with a run, but the Eagles got that back in the bottom of the frame on an RBI double by junior third baseman Jeremiah Cangelosi.
 
In the nightcap, the Storm got out on top first with a run in the top of the first, but the Eagles responded with a quick four-spot in the bottom of the fifth – with the big blow being a bases-clearing double by sophomore left fielder Ryan Shimek.
 
Sophomore right fielder Chris Franks' RBI single put AU ahead 5-1 in the bottom of the fifth, then junior first baseman Joey Bertani's run-scoring single in the sixth made it 6-1.
 
Back-to-back solo home runs moved Lake Erie closer in the top of the seventh, but senior right-hander Zac Common closed the door for his second save of the season – and for the Sunday sweep.
 
POST-GAME NUGGETS
  • In Game 1, junior righty Cam Scott (3-0) went the distance on a three-hitter, allowing a run and two walks and striking out eight.
  • Sophomore catcher Collin Overholt had half of AU's hits in the opener, going 3-for-4 with a single, double and triple, and adding an RBI and two runs scored. Cangelosi was 2-for-4 and scored once.
  • In Game 2, senior righty Justin Dyksma (2-0) went the first five frames, yielding three hits, a run and no walks and whiffing eight.
  • Miller was 2-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base, and Franks went 2-for-2 with a double, a stolen base, a run scored and an RBI.
