Raiders Rally in the Seventh to Shutout Xavier
4/23/2025 5:45:00 PM | Baseball
DAYTON – The Wright State baseball team rallied late to shut out Xavier, 4-0, on Wednesday afternoon. The Raiders, now 25-14 on the season, will remain on home turf to host Milwaukee for a three-game series beginning Friday, April 25, at 3 p.m.
Â
On a sunny day at Nischwitz Stadium, the game got off to a slow start, with the score remaining 0-0 through the first six innings. WSU starting pitcher Chet Lax threw 5.2 innings and struck out three batters.
Â
The Raiders broke through in the seventh inning, as JP Peltier and Cam Gilkerson drew walks, and Nate Manley was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Luke Arnold then lifted a sacrifice fly to right field to bring in Peltier for the first run. Manley scored on a single by Carson Clark, and the final runs came when Hunter Warren doubled down the right field line, driving in Clark and Gilkerson.
Â
Max Whitesell earned the win after tossing 1.1 hitless innings and striking out two. Malachi Paplanus secured his first save of the season, pitching the final two innings without allowing a hit, walk, or run, while striking out three.
