Mastodons Drop Friday Matchup at Wright State
4/26/2024 6:11:00 PM | Baseball
DAYTON, Ohio -Â Purdue Fort Wayne dropped the opener of their Horizon League series with Wright State 5-1 on Friday (April 26).
Wright State scored runs in each of the first three innings of the game. The Raiders pushed across one run in the first, two in the second, and added another in the third.
The Mastodons responded in the third inning with a two out RBI single from Jackson Micheels that plated Grant Thoroman. It was one of Micheels' two hits on the day as he joined Ben Higgins, who walked twice, in reaching base multiple times.
The 'Dons had chances in this one including leaving two runners on in the first and third innings. In the first inning, Jacob Walker was hit by a pitch and Higgins legged out an infield single, but were left at the corners as the inning ended.
Jake Shirk (4-3) got the win for Wright State after throwing six innings and allowing four hits with four strikeouts. Mac Ayres (1-5) took the loss for the 'Dons after five innings on the mound with three walks and one strikeout. Garrett Peters picked up his fourth save of the season by getting nine outs and surrendering just one hit.
The 'Dons meet the Raiders in game two on Saturday (April 27).
