Baseball Splits OAC Opener at Muskingum Saturday

(NEW CONCORD, Ohio) – The Wilmington College baseball team began play in the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) Saturday afternoon on the road at Muskingum University. They used a four run seventh inning to come back and win game one over the Fighting Muskies, 5-4 before losing game two, 15-5.

An error and two singles loaded the bases with no one out. Dominic Depa walked to bring in the first run to make it 4-2. Their next run scored on a fielder's choice and error before Ethan Bunce and Caden Baker singled in the final two runs to take the lead.
