Ohio Wesleyan 7, Gwynedd-Mercy 2

March 8, 2003

Senior first baseman Bo Burnett (Lewis Center/Olentangy) slammed a 2-run homer to start the Bishops on their way past Gwynedd-Mercy in the team's season opener on Saturday in Cape Coral, Fla.

The Bishops' second game on Saturday, originally scheduled against Thiel and then against Florida Gulf Coast, was canceled. Ohio Wesleyan will make up the game with a game against Chowan at 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Burnett's homer staked the Bishops to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning, and that was enough for junior righthander Tyler Mott (Grove City). Mott worked the first 6 innings, allowing just an unearned run and scattering 5 hits while striking out 5 and walking 3. Junior righthander Andy Busch (Westerville/South) worked the seventh inning and struck out the side.

Burnett went 3-for-4 with 2 RBI, senior third baseman Mark Wherry (Dublin/Scioto) was 2-for-3 with 2 RBI, senior shortstop Seth Tenpenny (Powell/Worthington Kilbourne) was 2-for-4 with an RBI, and junior catcher Mike Schultheis (Columbus/Watterson) made a key defensive play, picking off a Griffin baserunner to end a bases-loaded threat.
