Raiders Defeat Purdue Fort Wayne 23-11 in Eight

FORT WAYNE, Indiana – The Wright State baseball team defeated Purdue Fort Wayne in eight innings on Friday afternoon, putting up 23 runs in game two of the series. The rubber match is set for 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 17.
 
WSU held a 5-3 lead after three innings, as Boston Smith opened the day with a bases-clearing three-RBI double to right center. PFW tied it at three with a two-RBI single in the first and a run on a fielder's choice in the second. The Raiders regained the lead on another hit by Smith — a single that drove in JP Peltier.
 
Wright State extended its lead to 9-3 with a four-run fourth inning. Patrick Fultz opened the scoring with a two-RBI double, driving in Cam Gilkerson and Conlan Daniel. Gus Gregory singled through the right side to bring in Hunter Warren, and Fultz later scored on a Peltier sacrifice fly.
 
Both teams added two runs in the fifth. WSU opened the frame with an RBI single by Gilkerson, driving in Luke Arnold, who had doubled to right. Gilkerson stole second, advanced to third on a Warren fly out, and scored on a bunt single by Fultz. The Mastodons responded with an RBI single and a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the inning.
 
The Raiders pulled ahead 17-5 with a six-run seventh. The rally began with a two-RBI single from Fultz, followed by a walk to Gregory that loaded the bases. Peltier drew an RBI walk, and Blomquist and Arnold added sacrifice flies. Smith capped the frame with an RBI single to right. PFW answered with six runs of its own in the bottom of the seventh, scoring on a single and a double before launching a grand slam to right center.
 
WSU continued the rally into the eighth, tacking on six more runs to end the game via the 10-run rule. Warren led off with a walk, and Fultz and Gregory followed with singles to load the bases for Peltier, who launched a grand slam to right center to make it a 10-run game.
 
The final scoring play came as Smith furthered the Raider's advantage with a home run of his own, driving in Blomquist who has singled. This marks Smith's 20th home run of the season, tying the program record set by Andrew Patrick in 2023.
