TIFFIN - The Heidelberg University baseball team was swept by John Carroll on Tuesday afternoon at Peaceful Valley. The Student Princes were unable to capitalize on an early lead in the opener, falling late, while the second game saw the Berg offense go cold in an 11-0 defeat.

Heidelberg dropped to 12-18 (4-8 OAC) with the losses while John Carroll improved to 15-15 (8-4 OAC).

Heidelberg scored early in game one when Clayton Wielinski hit a two-run single in the first to give the Student Princes the lead.

After Derek Hug hit a sacrifice fly in the second to stretch the lead to three, John Carroll found an answer, tying up the game with three in the top of the third.

The Blue Streaks continued their offensive rhythm in the fourth when they plated two more, chasing HU starter Steve Huber from the game after just 3.1 innings.

JCU scored one more in the top of the sixth, and although HU found themselves with a scoring opportunity in the bottom of the frame, a runner thrown out at the plate and a strikeout allowed the Blue Streaks to get out of the jam unscathed.

Heidelberg was unable to get their offense going late, as JCU pulled away for the 11-3 win.

Game two got off to a rocky start for the Berg when John Carroll was able to score three unearned runs in the top of the first, putting the Student Princes in an early hole.

The offense for the Student Princes was stymied by JCU starter Brandon Matter and did not record a hit until the bottom of the 5th when Cory Jacobs doubled to left with one out.

The Heidelberg bats stayed cold through the remainder of the game as the Blue Streaks went on to win 11-0.

Sam Ankrom (0-3) took the loss in game two after throwing three innings, giving up six runs, just two earned.

Jacobs led Heidelberg's offense on the day with four hits.
