Baseball Rallies for 6-5 Win at Southeast Missouri

Box Score

The Wright State baseball team won its fifth straight Friday afternoon and stretched its one-run winning streak to four as the Raiders rallied with a run in the eighth and another in the ninth for a 6-5 decision at Southeast Missouri.

WSU opened the scoring with three in the second. With one out, Zach Tanner and Ryan Ashe both singled up the middle and Dan Marsh was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Justin Kopale then delivered a hit to left center to plate Tanner and Ashe and Corey Davis followed one out later with a hit to center to drive in Marsh.

The Raiders made it 4-0 an inning later as Jake Hibberd doubled down the left field line, went to third on a Tristan Moore sacrifice and scored on a single up the middle off the bat of Kody Krizman.

The Redhawks, however, tied it with two runs in the third and fourth and went ahead 5-4 on a run in the fifth.

It stayed that way until Wright State tied it in the eighth. With two out and no one on base, Krizman had another hit up the middle and after Tanner reached on an error to put runners on first and second, Ashe was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Marsh then had a hit through the left side of the infield to drive in pinch-runner Kyle Mossbarger and tie the game at 5-5.

WSU came up with the game-winner in the ninth as Mossbarger, on an 0-2 pitch, singled up the middle to plate Davis, who was hit by a pitch and advanced to second on a Moore walk.

It was the fifth-straight win over for Wright State and the fourth-straight by one run as the Raiders won the second game 7-6 against Oakland and swept a doubleheader from Canisius by the scores of 2-1 and 4-3.

Offensively, Hibberd, Krizman and Kopale each had two hits while on the mound, Michael Schum (5-1) earned the win in relief, his third win in the last four games, by allowing just one hit and one walk in 4.2 innings with two strikeouts.

Wright State (9-6) continues the three-game series with Southeast Missouri Saturday with a single game starting at 2:00 Eastern.
