FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The Purdue Fort Wayne baseball team fell 8-4 in an 11-inning contest to the Dayton Flyers Wednesday (March 16).
After defeating Saint Louis last week, the 'Dons were looking for their second win over an A10 school in a week's span. But it wouldn't be.
Junior Jarrett Bickel led the way offensively for the Mastodons, going 2-for-5 with a double and two RBIs. Garett Lake went 2-for-6 with a double and an RBI. Alex Evenson also chipped in, going 3-for-5 with three singles and a run scored.
While Jacob Myer (0-4) took the loss out of the pen, he looked good for the majority of his 3.1 innings and was key to getting the game to extras. He gave up only one hit in his first three innings, but allowed three runs in the 11th.
The Mastodons were trailing 2-0 in the second inning when they first put runs on the board. Purdue Fort Wayne scored three runs in the frame, highlighted by a two-run single off the bat of Bickel.
After the Flyers rallied to tie the ballgame at three, the Mastodons came back to retake the lead in the fifth inning. Purdue Fort Wayne pushed across a run on Lake's one-out RBI double, which brought the Mastodons' lead to 4-3. Dayton tied the game on a single run in the seventh. It stayed a 4-4 game until Dayton scored four in the 11th.
