DAYTON, Ohio – Brooks Sailors was on base three times on Sunday (April 28) but the Purdue Fort Wayne baseball team fell to Wright State 2-1 in Horizon League play.
The Mastodons scored their only run of the game in the third inning. Nick Sutherlin singled with one out and found himself at third following a Ben Higgins double. Jackson Micheels grounded out to score Sutherlin.
It stayed 1-0 until the seventh. Wright State's Boston Smith hit a pinch-hit two-run home run to put the Raiders up 2-1. The 'Dons put a runner on in the eighth and ninth innings, but Wright State held on for a 2-1 decision.
Brody Fine got the loss (1-5) but was very effective. He allowed just the two runs in 6.1 innings. Cam Allen (1-1) earned the win in relief with four innings of work. Brayden Shoetzow tossed the ninth for his third save of the year.
Wright State improves to 24-18 (14-7 Horizon League) and vaults into first place. The 'Dons fall to 15-28 (8-13 Horizon League). Purdue Fort Wayne is back in action on Friday (May 3) in an 11 a.m. first pitch at Mastodon Field.
