Box Score

DAYTON- The Raiders got a two-home run day from junior outfielder Gus Gregory on the road at Cincinnati Tuesday evening, but ultimately fell short of the Bearcats 8-5.

Wright State (11-14, 5-1 HL) will return home to Nischwitz Stadium as the rival Northern Kentucky Norse visit Dayton for a three-game set. Due to the Easter holiday, the Raiders and Norse will meet at 3 p.m. Thursday, 3 p.m., Friday, and 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Cincinnati opened the scoring in the bottom of the first with an RBI single off the bat of Enzo Infelise.

The Raiders would respond right back in the top of the first with Gregory's first home run of the day and of the season. The junior launched the two-run blast off the scoreboard in right field to give the Raiders a one-run advantage.

The Bearcats would regain the lead in the bottom of the second with three runs of their own. Ryan Tyranski would bring in one on an RBI bunt single and come in to score on a two-run home run off the bat of Luke Sefcik.

Gregory would tie the game at four runs apiece in the top of the third with his second two-run homer of the game. He worked a six-pitch at bat before parking the 2-2 pitch over the wall in right-center.

JJ Thompson got the start on the mound, pitching three innings and striking out three Bearcats before turning the ball over to the Wright State bullpen. The Raiders got shutout outings from Cooper Robinson and Broady Papay, who went one and 1.1 innings, respectively.

Cincinnati broke the game open with four runs in the bottom of the sixth. Sefcik recorded his third RBI of the day with a double up the left field line before Jackson Smith and Quienton Coats launched back-to-back home runs to give the Bearcats an 8-4 lead. Coats' home run was his nation's leading 20^th of the season.

New arms would continue to pour out of the Wright State bullpen, with Keegan Holmstrom, Nate Shaw, Abe Crall, Matthew Johnson, and Evan Boeckmann would combine for the final 2.2 innings.

Gregory would continue to swing a hot bat for the Raiders in the top of the ninth, roping an RBI double into the game in right-center, scoring JP Peltier from first.
