Baseball wallops Wilmington

TIFFIN -- The relentless Heidelberg University Baseball team scored 22 runs on 26 hits in a doubleheader sweep of Wilmington College on Saturday in Peaceful Valley. The Student Princes run-ruled the Quakers in both halves of the twinbill, winning 10-0 at 12-2, both in seven innings. 

Heidelberg, receiving votes in the latest D3baseball.com Top 25, improved to 18-5 overall, 6-0 in the OAC. Wilmington dropped to 2-18, 0-6. 

GAME ONE:  BERG 10-14-0   WILM 0-4-1  

Camden Farley doubled home Aidan Corrigan to open the scoring in the bottom of the first. Farley scored on a base hit to left center by Adam McVicker, who advanced to second on the throw. With two outs, Andrew Cook drove in McVicker with a double inside the left field line. 

Heidelberg added another run in the second, with Corrigan driving Braedy Limke with a single to right. 

Limke plated a pair in the fourth with a single to left that drove in Andrew Pokley and Kyle Mottice. In the fifth inning, it was Pokley's turn to drive in the runs. He bounced a single to right, scoring McVicker and Cook. Heidelberg led, 8-0. 

The Quakers threatened in the sixth. With runners on the corners and one out, Jared Lammert sent a fly ball to medium-deep right field. McVicker made the catch with ease, then fired a line-drive laser to Thomas Sauer at the plate. Sauer caught the throw and dove to apply the tag, reaching Eli Hollingsworth just before his hand hit the plate. The inning-ending double play, and a 1-6-3 twin-killer that ended the seventh, pumped up The Berg and the crowd at Peaceful Valley.  

Sauer started the seventh with an opposite-field double, then trotted home on a triple to right by Cook. Reece McNeely secured the run-rule walk-off with a soft single to center that plated Cook. 

Jackson Powers (W, 5-0) earned his first collegiate complete game shutout, limiting the Quakers to five hits. The junior struck out three and did not walk or hit a batter in 69 pitches.  

GAME TWO: BERG 12-12-2   WILM 2-5-0

Limke started the bottom of the first with a double down the left field line. He moved to third on a grounder to first, then scored on a ground out to short. 

The lone offensive bright spot for the Quakers came in the second when they took a 2-1 lead with a two-run homer by Max Gildea.

Wilmington held on to the lead until the fifth. Cort Kramer led off with a single and eventually found his way to third base. With two outs, he pranced home on a balk issued to the Quaker pitcher, tying the game. 

Cook walked and McVicker singled to start the sixth inning. With one out, Pokley doubled to the wall in right, scoring Cook. Later, Kyle Mottice contributed a two-out, two-run single to center that put HU up 5-2. With blood in the water, The Berg connected on three more run-scoring singles in succession -- with knocks by Limke, Corrigan, and Cook demoralizing the Quakers. HU led 8-2 after six. 

In the seventh, HU invoked the mercy rule again. Kramer doubled home Sauer, then Mottice drew a bases-loaded walk. Limke delivered the fatal blow, a two-run single to left. He picked up a team-high four hits and five RBIs on the afternoon. 

Corbin Caplan (W, 5-2) went the distance, earning his first career complete game. He limited Wilmington to two runs (one earned) on five hits, striking out four. 

UP NEXT: 

Heidelberg visits University Heights on Wednesday to take on OAC-foe John Carroll for a doubleheader. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m.
