No. RV Baseball Loses Late At Home To The Rock

On Tuesday (April 22) at Tomassi Stadium and Donges Field at the Archer Ballpark Complex, Slippery Rock's baseball team scored four runs over the last three innings to top No. RV Ashland University, 7-6.
 
The Eagles are 30-12 heading into the final two regular-season weekends, and The Rock is 27-13.
 
Tuesday's game was AU head coach John Schaly's 1,500th guiding the Eagle baseball program (981-515-4, .655).
 
Ashland struck first in the bottom of the second inning when freshman second baseman Colton Hunt delivered an RBI single, senior center fielder Cam Miller followed with a sacrifice fly, and junior left fielder Billy Howard added a run-scoring hit.
 
Junior first baseman Sam Witt launched a solo home run in the third, his third of the season, to lift AU to a 4-0 lead.
 
Slippery Rock cut its deficit in half with a pair of unearned runs in the fourth, but Ashland came back in the bottom of the frame with a run on a sac fly from Howard.
 
A run for The Rock in the fifth made it a 5-3 contest, then two more in the seventh knotted the score at 5. A fourth consecutive run, this one in the eighth, put Slippery Rock ahead for the first time at 6-5.
 
Perhaps the Eagles' hottest hitter of late, junior shortstop Collin Overholt, hit his team-high eighth round-tripper of 2025 to start the bottom of the eighth and level the score at 6-6. It was Overholt's third homer in the last two contests.
 
Slippery Rock scored in a third consecutive inning, however, taking the lead and eventually winning thanks to a run in the ninth.
 
…AND THE REST OF THE STORY
  • Both graduate designated hitter Max Caron and freshman third baseman Gage Weaver had two of Ashland's nine hits, and Howard drove in two runs.
  • Senior right-hander Chase Carter (3-4) went the last two innings, allowing four hits, two runs (one earned) and a walk and striking out two.
  • Ashland is in the midst of its 25th 30-win season in program history, all since 1994.
UP NEXT
Ashland, which already has clinched a spot in the 2025 Great Midwest Athletic Conference Tournament (May 7-10 in Mason, Ohio), will play host to Northwood to start a four-game conference set on Friday (April 25) at 4 p.m.
 
The Eagles are 19-5 in the Great Midwest, two games behind the first-place Timberwolves (27-13, 21-3) in the North Division.
