Ohio Wesleyan 17, Earlham 2

March 27, 2006

Senior third baseman Sammy Hall (North Riverside, Ill./Nazareth Academy) drove in 7 runs in support of senior righthander Adam Dunn (Westerville/Worthington Christian) and sophomore righthander Xander Jones (Pomfret, Conn./Pomfret School) as Ohio Wesleyan swept a North Coast Athletic Conference West Division doubleheader from Earlham on Monday at Littick Field.

In the opener, the Bishops scratched out a run in the first when junior second baseman Kyle Sherman (Plain City/Dublin Scioto) singled with 2 out, stole second and scored on a single by senior outfielder Adam Toney (Galloway/Westland).

Hall slammed a 2-run homer to highlight Ohio Wesleyan's 3-run fourth inning, then plated a run with a sacrifice fly during the Bishops' 2-run sixth frame. Sophomore first baseman A.J. Dote (Columbus/Worthington Kilbourne) added an RBI double during the sixth.

Earlham got on the scoreboard in the seventh when Derreck Parkevich led off with a walk, moved to third on Dunn's throwing error and scored on a Cal Wilson single.

Dunn bounced back to retire the side and finish off the complete game. He scattered 4 hits, struck out 10 and walked one while allowing the one unearned run.

Hall drove in 3 runs, while Toney went 3-for-3 with 2 runs scored and 2 RBI.

In the nightcap, the Bishops jumped on Quaker starter Eric Sturgeon for 7 runs in the first inning and never looked back on the way to sweeping the doubleheader and the series.

Sherman had an RBI single, Hall belted a 3-run homer, sophomore catcher Eric Stitzlein (Loudonville) had an RBI single and sophomore infielder Donny Paul (Lewis Center/Olentangy) plated a run with a sacrifice fly during the Bishops' first-inning rally.

Ohio Wesleyan added 2 in the second on RBIs by sophomore second baseman Jerrell Johnson (Shaker Heights) and Stitzlein, then scored 3 more in the third, with Hall and junior first baseman Tom Bottichio (Mason) smacking RBI doubles.

Earlham scored twice in the fourth as Sturgeon scored on a wild pitch and Kyle Bond plated a run with an infield out.

The Bishops scored 4 times in the fifth, with Johnson's 2-run single the big hit, and once in the sixth.

Hall went 3-for-3 with 4 RBI and 2 runs scored to pace the Bishop offense. Johnson drove in 3 runs and senior shortstop Brandon Williams (Dublin/Coffman) also went 3-for-3.

Jones pitched the first 6.0 innings, allowing 5 hits while striking out 7 and walking one. Junior righthander Sean Ring (Hilliard/Davidson) finished up on the mound.
