IPFW Wins Weekend Series Opener At UT Martin 6-5
3/4/2016 8:06:00 PM | Baseball
MARTIN, Tenn. -- Senior Kendall Whitman collected three hits, including a game-winning solo home run, and classmate Jonathan Valenzuela-Reece added two hits and an RBI to lead IPFW to a 6-5 non-conference baseball victory at UT Martin of the Ohio Valley Conference Friday at Skyhawk Park in Martin, Tennessee. Redshirt-junior Jake Weber gained the pitching win in relief for the Mastodons (7-2). IPFW and UT Martin (2-7) will play a doubleheader Saturday, March 5 in Tennessee at 1 p.m.
IPFW opened the game with two runs on two hits in the first inning, including an RBI single by senior Evan VanSumeren (1-5, RBI) that scored classmate Brandon Soat (0-5, RBI), who had struck out but reached base on a wild pitch. VanSumeren later crossed the plate via a sacrifice fly to left field by redshirt-sophomore Brock Logan (0-3, RBI).
The Mastodons added two more runs in the third on two more hits, including a run-scoring single by Reece (2-4, RBI) that scored redshirt-senior Shane Trevino (1-5), who had doubled. Whitman (3-4, RBI), who had walked earlier ahead of Trevino's double, scored courtesy of another wild pitch.
IPFW added a run in the sixth on an RBI ground ball from Soat that plated junior Jackson Boyce (1-3), who had singled and advanced to third on a fielding error. The Mastodons added the game-winning run in the ninth inning when Whitman led off with his solo blast to right field after the hosts had scored two runs in the eighth to tie it at 5-5. It was Whitman's first homer of the season.
Sophomore Evan Miller started for IPFW and pitched the first 5.0 innings, scattering 10 hits and three earned runs with two strikeouts and four walks. Senior Kyle Orwig tossed 2.0 scoreless innings in middle relief, yielding one hit with one strikeouts, while redshirt-sophomore Brandon Phelps went one-third of an inning, allowing two hits and two earned runs with one strikeout and no walks. Weber (2-0) went the final 1.2 shutout innings for the victory, scattering one hit with two strikeouts and one walk.
UT Martin was led offensively by Austin Taylor (3-5, 2 RBIs) with three hits and two RBIs, and Mike Murphy (2-5, RBI) with two hits and an RBI. Patrick Bernard (1-1) took the mound loss for the Skyhawks with the final 1.0 inning, allowing the one hit and one earned run with no strikeouts and no walks.
