Baseball: Raiders Take One, Drop One Sunday at Otterbein

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

WESTERVILLE, Ohio -- Mount Union rallied back for a 7-4 win in game one and dropped game two 11-1 at Otterbein in an Ohio Athletic Conference baseball doubleheader Sunday at Fishbaugh Field.

The two teams split the four-game set leaving the Purple Raiders 7-3 overall and 5-3 in the OAC while Otterbein is now 5-3 overall and 2-2 in the OAC.

Mount Union ran out to a 4-0 lead in game one as Walker Marlowe (Berlin Center / Western Reserve) drove in a run in the second and the Raiders scored three in the third -- two on an Otterbein error and another on a Trey Weaver (Franklin, Pa. / Franklin Area) single. 

Otterbein came back with a three-run sixth and tied the game on a Zach Franz home run in the seventh.

The Raiders then put on a rally of their own as they took advantage of an Otterbein error to plate two runs on a Garrett Bischof (Cuyahoga Falls / Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary) single and a Coleman Stauffer (Boardman) sacrifice fly to lead 6-4. Mount Union added insurance in the ninth as Eric Schilling (Stow / Stow-Munroe Falls) led off the frame with a home run.

On the mound, Ryan Osman (Pittsburgh, Pa. / Moon) went 6.0 innings in his second start while Jeremy Sassano (Fairview Park / Fairview) allowed only one hit over the final three innings to pick up the win. Travis Burson took the loss out of the pen for Otterbein.

In the nightcap, Mount Union was held to just four hits in an 11-1 loss in seven innings.

One of those hits for the Raiders was an RBI single from Schilling, who had three hits and drove in three runs on the day.  

Mount Union next has a four-game conference series with Ohio Northern playing Friday at 1 p.m. in Ada and Saturday at 1 p.m. in Alliance.
