Dan Valentine was 2-for-2 with two walks for the Red Hawks Wednesday afternoon.
Senior Adam Lasek's unearned run on a throwing error in the 12th inning gave RPI a 5-4 win over Massachusetts College at Robison Field. The homestanding Red Hawks, the 16th-ranked team in the nation, improve to 14-6. The Trailblazers fall to 7-12-1.
Lasek, a shortstop, led off the final inning with a single and was sacrificed to second base by Bob Murphy. RPI's next batter, Dan Feenan, grounded a ball to the shortstop, whose throw was in the dirt and skipped away from the first baseman, allowing Lasek to score standing up.
MCLA forced extra innings when junior Anthony Bruno scored on a two-out error in the ninth inning.
Rensselaer got two runs through the first two innings without the benefit of a hit. Sophomore Sean Wilkes, who was hit by a pitch, scored on a balk in the first inning and Dan Valentine walked to lead off the second and scored on an error. The Red Hawks added another run in the third inning on a sac fly by Valentine and a fourth in the fourth on an RBI single by Wilkes.
The Trailblazers held a 1-0 lead after the top of the first inning after putting together three singles. They scored another in the third inning to tie the game, 2-2. Sophomore centerfielder Patrick Negrini singled and scored in both frames. MCLA pulled to within one run, 4-3, in the bottom of the sixth inning on an RBI groundout by Anthony Russo.
Wilkes, Valentine and Lasek all collected two hits apiece for the Red Hawks, who saw junior Tim Klein earn the win.
Junior Jim Pesente suffered the loss for the Trailblazers, who got three hits and two runs from Negrini.
Junior righthander Colin Feneis and sophomore righthander Brandon Aich combined on a six-hit shutout while sophomore leftfielder Dan Mattonelli drove in three runs as No. 5 Kean blanked Montclair State 4-0 in New Jersey Athletic Conference action at Yogi Berra Stadium on Wednesday afternoon. The game, originally scheduled for Thursday, April 12 in Union, was postponed twice before being moved to Montclair State.
Edgewood won both games of the doubleheader with the Spartans of Aurora Wednesday. The Eagles (17-8, 9-3 NAC) won the first game behind a complete game shutout by junior Bill Dictus and followed that up with a 10-6 win in the nightcap to complete the series sweep in a cold and drizzly day at Charles Stampfl Memorial Field.
There's nothing like an 11-run inning to turn a game around. Trailing 9-1, Central put up a record 11 runs in the fifth inning and emerged with a 15-11 Iowa Conference baseball win over Simpson on Wednesday. The victory gives the Dutch (14-13 overall, 7-7 conference) the edge in the teams' three-game series. They split a doubleheader at Simpson on April 3.
One big inning in both games helped UW-Oshkosh defeat UW-Whitewater 7-3 and 10-1 Wednesday at Prucha Field in Whitewater. In Game 1 Whitewater scratched out two runs in the first, on just one hit. Oshkosh tied the game with a pair of runs in the fourth. Whitewater took a 3-2 lead with a run in the fifth, but Oshkosh tied the game with a tally in the top of the sixth. That's where it remained until the top of the ninth, when the Titans scored four runs on five hits, with four different players credited with a run batted in.
Whitewater, again, got out in front in Game 2, with a run in the first inning. Oshkosh tied it in the fourth, 1-1, then added three in the fifth, with an Andy Neubauer single plating two.
