GAME ONE: UC CLERMONT 12, WILMINGTON 6

The Cougars took advantage of seven Wilmington turnovers to score six unearned runs in the game. The biggest blows came during a seven-run, sixth inning in which UCC tallied three unearned markers.

The miscues help waste a solid outing by junior Billy Foster (Xenia, OH/Xenia), who took the loss, allowing six runs (three earned) in 5 2/3 innings on seven hits. Foster allowed just two hits over his first five innings of action.

Wilmington took the lead in the first as Cleaver opened the inning with a double and junior Max Ramsey (Waynesville, OH/Waynesville) walked. A groundout moved the runners to second and third, and Cleaver scored as freshman Kyle Short (Trenton, OH/Edgewood) reached on an error. A single by freshman Jake Robinson (Westerville, OH/Central) brought home Ramsey and Short.

It stayed 3-0 until UCC tallied a pair of unearned runs crossed the plate in the top of the fifth and then seized control with its seven-run inning. They added a three-spot in the eighth.

Whitney scored on a passed ball in the second inning, and a two-run double by Robinson in the sixth brought WC to within 7-3. It would be as close as they would get. The Fightin' Quakers scored one in seventh and two in the ninth.
