IPFW Wins 8-1 At Western Illinois To Sweep Weekend Series
4/17/2016 7:19:00 PM | Baseball
MACOMB, Ill. -- Redshirt-senior Greg Kaiser and redshirt-sophomore Brock Logan each collected three hits to lead IPFW to an 8-1 Summit League baseball road win at Western Illinois University Sunday afternoon at Alfred D. Boyer Stadium in Macomb, Illinois. Redshirt-senior left-handed pitcher Brandon Pease earned the mound win for the visiting Mastodons (17-19, 4-11 Summit League), who won their fourth-straight game while sweeping the weekend series against the host Fighting Leathernecks (10-23, 7-8 Summit League). IPFW will host local NAIA member the University of Saint Francis on Wednesday, April 20, at 3 p.m. at Mastodon Field in Fort Wayne.
IPFW took an early 1-0 lead in the second inning when Logan (3-4, RBI) singled to open the frame and later scored on an RBI ground ball from redshirt-sophomore Shannon Baker (0-3, RBI). The Mastodons added two runs in the sixth inning for a 3-0 advantage. In the sixth, Kaiser (3-3, RBI) and senior Kendall Whitman (1-4, RBI) each singled before Logan was hit-by-a-pitch to load the bases. Kaiser crossed the plate when senior Jonathan Valenzuela-Reece (1-3, 2 RBIs) reached on an RBI fielder's choice and advanced to second base on a throwing error that allowed Whitman to score, as well.
IPFW scored four more runs in the seventh inning to lead 7-1. In the seventh, senior Evan VanSumeren (1-5, RBI), Kaiser and Logan each provided run-scoring singles, while Whitman contributed a sacrifice fly RBI. VanSumeren drove in junior Jackson Boyce (2-4), who had also singled; Kaiser plated senior Brandon Soat (1-4), who had singled, as well; Logan drove home Kaiser and Whitman scored VanSumeren. The Mastodons added a final run in the ninth inning when Kaiser walked and later crossed the plate via an RBI single by Valenzuela-Reece.
Pease (1-1) started for IPFW and pitched the first 5.0 shutout innings, scattering three hits with four strikeouts and no walks. Junior Jordan Martin tossed an inning of relief, allowing one hit and one run, unearned, with no strikeouts and no walks. Redshirt-junior Jake Weber (5) hurled the final 3.0 scoreless innings for the Mastodons to earn his fifth save of the season, yielding three hits with four strikeouts and two walks.
WIU was led offensively by Mark Garton (2-4) with two hits, while Ian Koch (2-1) started and pitched 6.0 innings in defeat for the Fighting Leathernecks, allowing 10 hits and seven runs, six earned, with no strikeouts and two walks.
IPFW Offense Erupts During Weekend Series
IPFW outscored WIU, 28-7, during the three league games … posting 36 hits in 112 at bats for a .321 team batting average over the weekend. Greg Kaiser was especially potent at the plate for the Mastodons, hitting .692 (9-13) with five home runs, two doubles, 10 RBIs, nine runs, three walks and two stolen bases. He had 26 total bases for a 2.000 slugging percentage, along with a .750 on-base percentage.
The IPFW pitching staff combined for a 2.00 ERA through 27.0 innings with 19 strikeouts, allowing just 22 hits, only three for extra bases, along with just seven walks.
