Baseball Rolls in Game One Before Tight Game Two Loss to Lesley

(MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.) – The Wilmington College baseball team split their doubleheader with the Lesley University Lynx on Sunday during their first day of their spring break trip in Myrtle Beach. They won game one 17-8 in seven innings before the Lynx made a late comeback for a 6-5 victory in eight innings during game two. The Quakers are now 3-1 overall to begin the 2025 season.

Game One – Wilmington defeats Lesley, 17-8 (7 Innings)
The Quakers exploded for six runs in the first inning, all of which came with two outs. Wilmington was helped by wild pitches and walks before Gabe McDowell and Avery Battle both delivered 2-RBI singles. Ethan Bunce had the final RBI of the inning with a double into center field for a 6-0 lead.

A Kyle Jennings triple and JP Donelan double plated three more runs for the Quakers over the next two frames for a 9-2 advantage. The Lynx cut the lead to 9-6, but eight more runs over the final three innings put the game out of reach.

The three runs in the fifth inning all came with two outs. Wilmington loaded the bases before McDowell came through with another RBI single and Braden Chambers had a 2-RBI single to follow.

Walks and a passed ball accounted for three of the Quakers runs in the final inning. The other two came off the bat of J.C. Calhoun, who singled into center field for two RBI.

Game Two – Lesley defeats Wilmington, 6-5 (8 Innings)
The Quakers continued to swing hot bats with two outs in game two, as they picked up a big two out base hit from Kyle Jennings to score the first run of the game in the first inning. Braden Chambers had an RBI fielder's choice in the second inning for a 2-1 lead.

Their lead increased to 4-1 in the bottom of the third frame. A walk and double put a pair of runners in scoring position before an infield single from Avery Battle and Hayden Koonce fielder's choice scored the Quakers runs.  

Lesley scored four unanswered runs to grab a 5-4 lead in the top of the seventh. With two outs in the bottom of the seventh, pinch hitter Evan Brauch came through with a huge single up the middle to tie the game at 5-5.
