Baseball Falls 11-9 in First Game at UIC
5/2/2009 12:00:00 PM | Baseball
Jeff Mercer moved to fourth on the single-season doubles list and Quentin Cate recorded his seventh homer of the season, but it was enough as UIC overcame a 7-1 deficit to defeat the Raiders 11-9 in the first game of a Horizon League baseball doubleheader Saturday at Les Miller Field.
The Raiders got off to a hot start, batting around and scoring six runs in the first, an inning that featured a leadoff home run from R. J. Gundolff along with Cate's seventh home run of the season.
An RBI single from Mercer extended the WSU lead to 7-1 in the top of the fourth, but UIC would begin its comeback from there as a three-run home run from Tony Altavilla made it 7-4.
The Flames added five runs in the fifth to give them their first lead of the game and tacked on two more in the sixth. The Raiders tallied a run in the eighth and ninth but could get no closer.
WSU outhit UIC 15-14 in the contest with seven extra base hits. Aaron Fields and Ryan Ashe led the way offensively with three hits while Gundolff, Mercer and Garrett Gray each had a pair.
Wright State (22-24, 9-9 Horizon) closes out the series with game two of the doubleheader later this afternoon.
