Losing streak reaches 11

CRAWFORDSVILLE, IN – The Wilmington College baseball team losing streak extended to 11 games as the Quakers were swept in a non-conference doubleheader by Wabash, 10-0 and 10-5.

Wilmington was limited to just three hits in the opener. Senior Jake Vinkovich (Circleville, OH/Circleville), senior Hunter Justus (Circleville, OH/Logan Elm) and freshman Corey Walker (Hillsboro, OH/Hillsboro) each had singles for the Quakers.

Vinkovich fell to 0-3 on the season, allowing four runs on five hits in just two innings of work. Walker allowed five runs on 10 hits in three innings.

Wabash took advantage of four third-inning errors to explode for eight runs in posting the 10-5 win in the second game of the doubleheader. The big inning by the Little Giants came on the verge of Wilmington's biggest inning.

Senior Cameron Schwalbach (Circleville, OH/Circleville) gave Wilmington a 2-1 lead with a bases-loaded single. SophomoreRoenick Whitney (Goshen, OH/Goshen) pushed the WC lead to 3-1, however, the rally stymied with back-to-back flyouts.
