MILWAUKEE - The Dominican University Stars
scored 12 runs in the eighth inning to overcome a 5-4 deficit and
defeat the Wisconsin Lutheran College Warriors 16-7 on Sunday in
the first game of a Northern Athletics Conference baseball
doubleheader at a cold and rainy Neumann Family Field.
The Stars grabbed a brief 1-0 lead in the top of the second
inning on an RBI single only to see WLC come back in the bottom
half of the frame and tie the game at 1-1. An AJ Paczocha (Cudahy,
Wis./Union Grove Christian) single plated Kyle Edlhuber (Mukwonago,
Wis./Luther Preparatory).
WLC went in front 2-1 in the third on an RBI groundout from
sophomore Josh Ferrell (Cocoa, Fla./Temple Christian) that scored
Cody Schmidt (Union City, Okla./Union City). Dominican took the
lead back 3-2 in the fourth when it scored a pair of runs on two
hits.
The Warriors knotted the game up at 3-3 in the bottom of the
inning on an RBI sac fly from Paczocha that scored Ethan Geis (Fond
du Lac, Wis./Winnebago Lutheran). After the Stars regained a 4-3
advantage in the fifth, WLC scored twice in the sixth on RBIs from
Eric Burrow (Lake Mills, Wis./Lakeside Lutheran) and Jared
Huntemann (Mukwonago, Wis./Mukwonago).
Holding onto a 5-4 lead entering the eighth, the Warriors
surrendered 12 runs on eight hits and suddenly saw themselves
trailing 16-5. WLC plated two runs in its half of the eighth, but
it wasn't enough.
Edlhuber went 3-for-5 and scored two runs to lead the Warriors.
Schmidt went 7.1 innings and took the loss on the hill.
Kevin Cahill went 5-for-6 with two RBIs and two runs scored for
the Stars (13-16, 6-7 NAC).
Steady rain forced the postponement on Sunday's second game. A
make-up date has not yet been set at this time.
Wisconsin Lutheran (6-21, 3-10 NAC) travels to Waukesha, Wis.,
for a non-conference doubleheader against the Carroll University
Pioneers on Wednesday. First pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m. at
