Ohio Wesleyan 9, Otterbein 4

April 9, 2004

Junior outfielder Matt Strasburg (Oak Hill, Va./Oakton) and freshman outfielder Kyle Sherman (Plain City/Dublin Scioto) drove in first-inning runs that put Ohio Wesleyan ahead to stay and the Bishops went on to defeat Otterbein in non-conference action on Friday in Westerville.

The Bishops jumped to a 2-0 first-inning lead. Sophomore outfielder Adam Toney (Galloway/Westland) was hit by a pitch to open the game, then stole second and took third on a wild pitch. Sophomore third baseman Brandon Williams (Dublin/Coffman) followed with a walk and stole second, then Strasburg lofted a sacrifice fly to score Toney and Sherman delivered a single to score Williams.

Otterbein came back with a run in the bottom of the first on Aaron Stupica's RBI single, but the Bishops answered with 2 more in the top of the second.

Senior second baseman Brad Whitman (Canfield) led off with a double and moved to third on a passed ball. Toney was hit by a pitch and stole second and both runners scored on Williams' single.

The Bishops tacked on a run in the fourth on another Sherman RBI single and added 2 in the sixth and 2 in the eighth. Senior catcher Andy Busch (Westerville/South) had an RBI single to highlight the sixth, while the runs in the eighth scored on a triple by freshman first baseman Tom Bottichio (Mason) and a single by senior catcher Mike Schultheis (Columbus/Watterson).

Sophomore righthander Adam Dunn (Westerville/Worthington Christian) worked the first 7.0 innings to pick up the win, raising his record to 6-0. Dunn scattered 8 hits and allowed 3 runs.

Jason Collier was the starting and losing pitcher for Otterbein
