WILMORE, Kentucky - The Wilmington College baseball team fell victim to a hot Asbury University offense as the Eagles scored multiple runs in four innings of a 15-5 victory over the Quakers on Tuesday evening.

WC starter Mac Davis retired just two batters and took the loss, allowing three earned runs on one hit with three walks. The next four Quaker relievers - Luke Chappie, Kaleb Stines, Caleb Fugate and Hayden Wibbeler - all gave up earned runs with Wolf as the lone Wilmington hurler to not surrender a run, pitching the final two innings and just allowing a single baserunner via a walk. 

Eli Wilder picked up the victory for Asbury by pitching 4.1 innings of the seven-inning contest. David Savastio pitched the final 2.2 innings for Asbury.

The Quakers (8-8) scored the first run of the game on an infield single from Jesse Reliford that scored Tyler Shaneyfelt, but the hosts answered with a patient approach at the plate that saw them score three runs on just one hit in the bottom of the first. Wilmington failed to score in the top of the second, and the Eagles used two WC errors to score three more runs in the second and coasted to victory from there.

Asbury pounded out 14 hits with five of them being for extra bases including two home runs. Kaden Dugle finished 3-for-4 with four RBIs, two runs scored, two doubles and a home run with Ethan Cartwright went 2-for-2 at the plate with three RBIs, two walks and two runs scored.

Reliford finished 3-for-3 and drove in two runs while Shaneyfelt and Kyle Jennings both added multi-hit contest for the Quakers.

Wilmington will open Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) play at Muskingum University on Saturday.
