Raiders sweep Saturday doubleheader behind 12 homers, 50 total runs

The Wright State baseball team scored 50 runs across a pair of Saturday wins at Purdue Fort Wayne, taking the opener 22-2 before a 28-7 win in the second game of the day.
 
The Raiders (21-10, 20-3 HL) and Mastodons (9-24, 6-17 HL) wrap up the four-game Horizon League series with a 1 p.m. first pitch on Sunday afternoon.
 
The 22 runs, followed quickly by the 28 runs, become the new high mark in runs scored this season by the Raiders, who previously scored 20 runs in a win at Youngstown State back in March. The Wright State record for runs in a game is 32 – set against Youngstown State on April 5, 2012.
 
In the seven inning first game, Wright State scored in each frame, with multiple runs in five innings, with the big blow being a giant, 10-run tally in the top of the third to break open what was a 4-0 game. The second game saw the Raiders open things up with a five-run first inning before later closing the day out with an eight-run seventh frame and seven final runs in the ninth.
 
Over the 16 total innings, Wright State tallied 12 home runs and 11 doubles, with Zane Harris, Sammy Sass, Justin McConnell and Alec Sayre each connecting on two home runs. Damon Dues, Alex Alders, Quincy Hamilton and Sass all had two doubles over the two wins. In total, the Raiders collected 44 RBI, with McConnell's seven leading the way, followed by six from Sayre and five each from Harris, Dues, Alders and Tyler Black.
 
The offense overshadowed a pair of quality pitching performances, as Bradley Brehmer struck out eight batters while allowing four hits and two runs over six innings in the opener before Alex Theis struck out eight of his own in four innings to start game two while allowing four hits and three runs. Brehmer earned the win in the opener to improve to 6-2 on the season, while Jake Shirk moved to 3-0 after a clean inning of relief in game two. In total, eight Raider pitchers held Fort Wayne to 13 total hits and the nine runs scored.
 
The offense didn't take long to get going in game one, with Black connecting on a two-run blast in the top of the first inning. After adding on a pair of runs in the second, Wright State posted the 10-run third inning, highlighted by Harris' three-run homer, a two-run single from Gehrig Anglin and an RBI double from Dues.
 
Dues drove in runs in the fourth and sixth on an RBI groundout and later a sacrifice fly, with Harris' second homer of the day, this time a two-run shot, coming in between those runs in the fifth. Julian Greenwell got in on the home run parade in the seventh with a two-run homer of his own as part of a four-run inning to complete the win.
 
The five-run first inning in game two was keyed by McConnell's two-run single before the Raiders saw Dues and Black both connect on solo homers as part of a three-run fourth frame. Home runs were again the scoring route in the sixth, when Sayre and Alders both tallied two-run shots to left field. Wright State posted eight runs in the seventh, keyed by a three-run homer from McConnell and a solo shot from Sass, while Alders also delivered a two-run single.
 
Following a Black RBI single in the eighth, the Raiders capped the doubleheader with a seven-run ninth, highlighted by a three-run Sass homer, a two-run McConnell homer and a solo shot from Sayre.
