Senior center fielder Jake Butler went 5-for-9 with 6 RBI against Otterbein on Saturday.
Sophomore Tom Stevison's sacrifice fly RBI in the bottom of the seventh scored the winning run as Capital came back from a 12-2 deficit to beat Muskingum 14-13 in Game 2 of an Ohio Athletic Conference doubleheader Wednesday at Clowson Field. The Crusaders got the sweep after a 19-4 win in Game 1.
Senior Jimmy Haas led off the inning with a walk then advanced to third on a double from senior Jake Butler. With first base open the Muskies intentionally walked junior Ryan Hutchison to set up Stevison who flew out to right field to score Haas and end the game.
All of this looked highly improbable when the Crusaders came to bat in the third inning facing a 12-2 deficit. The Muskies scored two in the first, four in the second and added a six-run third for their 12 runs. Capital got a run in the third then posted an eight-run fourth inning. The Crusaders got nine hits in its first 10 at-bats in the inning and then a sacrifice fly by senior Bryan White capped the eight run frame and closed the gap to 12-11.
Capital tied the game at 12-12 with a Haas RBI single in the fifth, but Muskingum would retake the lead with a run in the sixth, 13-12. The Crusaders came back again to tie the game with a run in the sixth when Stevison led off the inning with a triple and scored on another sacrifice fly by White.
Junior pitcher Chris Trainer came on in relief and kept the Crusaders in the game as he allowed just four hits over the final 4 2/3 innings to go to 4-0 on the season. Ryan McCallister took the loss for the Muskies.
In Game 1, Capital scored four runs in the first inning, the Muskies responded with three in the top half of the second before the Crusaders exploded with an 11-run fourth inning. The sweep sends Capital to 12-13 overall and 6-4 in the OAC, while Muskingum remains winless in OAC games (0-6) and 17-9 overall.
Texas-Tyler wrapped up the home season with an 18-0 win over NAIA Southwest Assemblies of God on Tuesday night. UT Tyler (35-0) scored 12 runs in the first inning, with the entire lineup batting twice on just eight hits. Seniors Michael Stutts, Nate Jennings, Patrick McClure, and Blake Burnett combined for the two-hit shutout.
In the decisive Game 6 in the race for the Maloney Series Trophy, Millsaps (31-9, 12-4 SCAC) jumped on top of Belhaven (36-12, 19-5 GCAC) 10-3 through the first four innings and survived six unanswered runs from the Blazers over the final five frames, to stretch its season-long winning streak to eight games and hoist the Maloney Trophy for the second consecutive year.
