Baseball: Mount Union Splits with John Carroll

ALLIANCE, Ohio – The Mount Union baseball team split its home doubleheader against Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) foe John Carroll on Thursday.
 
The Purple Raiders (21-9, 7-5 OAC) won game one, 6-1, and lost game two, 14-8. The game two loss was Mount Union's first at home this season.
 
In game one, Mount Union had a 6-0 lead through eight innings until John Carroll (11-17, 5-7 OAC) spoiled the shutout with a run in the ninth. Junior Chris Viamonte (Naples, Fla. / Coral Gables) and freshman Luke Ickes (Green, Ohio / Green) both had a pair of RBIs. Junior Zachary Breeden (Cincinnati, Ohio / Cincinnati Elder) pitched 7.1 scoreless innings and only gave up six hits, while earning eight strike outs with one walk, improving to 4-2 on the season.
 
There was a lot of firepower in game two, with 31 combined hits and 22 combined runs. The Raiders had an early 4-0 lead, however, the Blue Streaks produced a seven-run third inning that Mount Union could not overcome. Mount had five extra-base hits, led by senior Jaired Lehman (Monroeville, Pa. / Gateway) and junior Alex Stegman (Berea, Ohio / Berea-Midpark) who both had a solo home run. Sophomore pitcher Leo Fornara (Chagrin Falls, Ohio / Chagrin Falls) moved to 4-2 on the season as he went 2.2 innings, giving up seven runs off eight hits.
 
The Purple Raiders are back on the diamond Saturday, April 20 with a road OAC doubleheader at Wilmington with game one starting at 1 p.m.
