5/22/2021 8:38:00 PM | Baseball
ROCHESTER, Mich. – The Purdue Fort Wayne baseball team fell to Oakland by scores of 6-5 and 17-10 on Saturday (May 22) afternoon at the Oakland Baseball Field. The Mastodons held leads in both games before Oakland rallied back.
Game One – Oakland 6, Purdue Fort Wayne 5 (scheduled seven-inning game)
The 'Dons were undone by a four-run sixth inning by Oakland. It turned a 5-2 Mastodon lead into a one-run advantage for the Golden Grizzlies. The first four runs of the game scored on home runs. Cam Post hit a two-run home run in the first inning and then Michael Stygle hit a two-run home run in the sixth to make it a 5-4 game. The Golden Grizzlies tied the game on a single by Josh Dudden. They took the lead when Drew Collins motored around from second on an error later in the sixth.
Alex Evenson hit a solo home run for the 'Dons in the second and Garett Lake added his own solo shot in the third. It was Evenson's first home run of the season while Lake finishes with seven home runs. Lake is the first Mastodon with seven home runs in a season since Robert Young III knocked seven in 2018.
The 'Dons scored three in the fourth to go up 5-2. Justin Greene, Dylan Stewart and Zac Baden each had an RBI in the fourth.
Jacob Myer started for the 'Dons and looked strong until the sixth. He took the loss and finishes his season 3-7. He allowed five earned runs in 5.1 innings with four strikeouts.
Hayden Nierman threw the final 3.2 innings to get the win for the Golden Grizzlies. He is 4-6.
The 'Dons made Nierman work for final out, however, as they loaded the bases with two outs in the seventh. But a groundout by Trenton Stoner ended the contest.
Game Two – Oakland 17, Purdue Fort Wayne 10
Oakland was the first to score in the nightcap with a pair of runs in the second, however the 'Dons put up five in the fourth thanks to four hits and three walks. Evan Huffman and Baden each added a double in the inning. The final two runs of the inning scored with two outs.
The 'Dons took a 9-7 lead to the bottom of the sixth when Oakland tied it with two runs. They would add five in the seventh and three in the eighth to get the win.
Aaron Chapman and Greene had solo home runs for the 'Dons. Chapman finishes the season with five home runs. It was Greene's first of the season. Chapman, Evenson and Baden each had two hits.
Cameron Boyd went five innings in his final game as a Mastodon. He left with the lead but would end up with a no decision. Kevin Fee (0-4) suffered the loss.
Tyler Trovinger (1-0) received the win for Oakland thanks to 3.0 innings of work.
Drew Collins had four hits at the plate for Oakland.
The Mastodons finish the 2021 season 11-35 (8-28 Horizon). Oakland concludes the campaign 18-29 (12-24 Horizon).
