Baseball Drops High-Scoring Affair Against Northwood

The Timberwolves outscored the Warriors 8-3 from the sixth inning on.

DAVENPORT, Fla. -- Playing a single game on Saturday night, the Wayne State University baseball team (9-4 overall) was defeated by Northwood (4-9 overall) 9-8.  The Warriors will be off on Sunday before playing at Saint Leo on Monday and first pitch against the Lions is scheduled for 6 p.m.

Wayne State struck first with two runs in the opening inning and another in the second.  Drew Hill (Grosse Pointe Woods, Mich. / Grosse Pointe North) doubled in both Bennett Hitzelberger (Richmond, Mich.) and Mason McGuire (Lyon Twp., Mich. / Brighton (Mott CC)) before CJ Maury (Brampton, Ont. / Mayfield SS) singled in Logan Van Sicklen (Waterford Twp., Mich. / Waterford Kettering).

Northwood proceeded to score a run of its own in the home half of the second before the Warriors punched right back with a single run in both the third and fourth frames.  Hill brought in Hitzelberger with an RBI ground out to first and Nate Crossman (Canton, Mich. / Ann Arbor Father Gabriel Richard) hit a solo home run to left, the first of his career.

WSU opened up a 7-1 advantage in the sixth when Tony Hatzigeorgiou's (Oxford, Mich.) single to center scored a pair in Crossman and Van Sicklen.

However, NU rattled off four runs in both the sixth and seventh to take a two-run lead, 9-7.  In the top of the ninth, Wayne State pulled within one on Logan Tobel's (Brighton, Mich. / Hartland) RBI single (scored Hatzigeorgiou) before he was stranded at first.

Making the first start of his career, Evan Langlois (Brownstown, Mich. / Woodhaven) threw five innings with five earned runs surrendered on five hits, four walks and three strikeouts.  First out of the bullpen, Cam Rosen (Ann Arbor, Mich. / Dexter) gave up two earned runs on three hits with one free pass and a punchout through an inning of work.

Then, Macio Miller (Kimball, Mich. / Marysville (Jackson CC)) took the loss with just one batter retired.  Gavin Nash (Howell, Mich. / Hartland) pitched a scoreless inning in his first collegiate appearance and David Thurman (Southfield, Mich. / Detroit Edison) was responsible for the final two thirds of the eighth.
