The Wright State baseball team took both ends of a Horizon League doubleheader against Milwaukee Friday at Nischwitz Stadium, taking the opener 5-3 before scoring a run in the bottom of the ninth to win the second game 2-1.

The Raiders went up 1-0 in the third inning of game one as Nick Weybright doubled to left center, advanced to third on a wild pitch and came in on a Matt Morrow sacrifice fly. The margin grew to 2-0 an inning late on a solo home run to left off the bat of Gabe Snyder, his second of the season.

WSU made it 4-0 in the fifth on a JD Orr two-run double and added another run in the sixth as Seth Gray stole home while Zach Weatherford stole second.

Danny Sexton (5-0) was brilliant for eight shutout innings, giving up just three hits and a walk while striking out four. The Panthers, though, scored three times in the ninth before Derek Hendrickson retired three straight batters, including a strikeout, to pick up his third save.

The second game was a scoreless pitching duel between Wright State's Ryan Weiss and Milwaukee's Elijah Goodman until the Raiders broke through in the fifth. Brandon Giltrow was hit by a pitch to start the frame and scored all the way from first on a two-out double down the left field line by Adrian Marquez.

It remained 1-0 until Dylan Detert tied the game for the Panthers with a solo home run to left with one out in the ninth. WSU, though, would come up with the game-winner in the bottom of the ninth as Gray singled up the middle, went to second on a Weatherford walk and scored on a two-out hit to right by Morrow.

Jeremy Randolph (1-0) earned the win while Weiss finished with six strikeouts in 5.2 innings of work. At the plate, Morrow ended up with three hits while Marquez had two.

Wright State (14-7, 5-0 Horizon) and Milwaukee (7-13, 0-5 Horizon) close out the weekend series with a single game Saturday morning at 11:00.
