Seventh-Ranked Wayne State Walks Off Hillsdale for Win No. 30

DETROIT -- The Wayne State University baseball team (30-9 overall) has played just two home games in the last 28 days, both of which have been won in walk-off fashion. Following an hour long rain delay and three-hour slugfest on Tuesday against Hillsdale (19-22 overall), the Warriors' Ryan Foley (Ann Arbor, Mich. / Saline) brought in Mason McGuire (Lyon Twp., Mich. / Brighton) with an RBI single to right field in the bottom of the ninth inning that gave the good guys an 11-10 victory.

Wayne State has now won 30 games in a season 12 times in program history and done so in back-to-back campaigns for the first time since 2014. Finished with non-conference play for the 2023 regular season, the Warriors will host Parkside on Friday through Sunday for a four-game GLIAC series.

On another banner day for the Wayne State offense, the Warriors improved to 10-0 this spring when scoring at least 10 runs and 15-2 when putting up eight or more. Tuesday, 10 of the 11 WSU players that saw an at-bat registered a hit, four of them put up multiple base knocks, nine Warriors scored a run, six notched at least one RBI, and two drove in multiple runs.

Foley spearheaded the attack with a three-run home run in the fourth, his second of the spring, and the walk-off heroics to seal it.

Pitching wise, eight different players saw time for Wayne State beginning with Kaden Stively (Washington, Mich. / Romeo) and his three-and-a-third innings of work.

After Stively came Cam Rosen (Ann Arbor, Mich. / Dexter), David Thurman (Southfield, Mich. / Detroit Edison), Ryan Szlachcic (Jenison, Mich. / Hudsonville), Mitchell Mychajluk (Macomb, Mich. / Utica Eisenhower), Chad Sommers (Jonesville, Mich. / Jonesville), Ashton Potts (Sterling Heights, Mich. / Stevenson), and Brennan Cox (Taylor, Mich. / Riverview Gabriel Richard) who improved to 3-0 with the win.
