OSHKOSH – The Blue Devils baseball team wrapped up WIAC play with a doubleheader split at UW-Oshkosh. Winning game one 4-2 and falling in game two 14-4 in eight innings.
GAME ONE
Stout took game one 4-2, scoring the go ahead runs in the sixth as
Drew Buss scattered seven hits over eight innings, striking out six and allowing just two runs.
AJ Kargel led off the top of the third inning with a single down the left field line. The next two batter reached to load the bases and Kargel scored on a routine double-play ball off the bat of
Jacoby Endreas. Stout's lead was short lived, as back-to-back singles in the bottom half of the inning by the Titans put runners on the corners. The Titans then executed a double steal to tie the game. Oshkosh took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the fifth on an RBI groundout. Stout responded right away in the top of the sixth. Endreas reached on a throwing error by the Titan third baseman and came around to score on
Jack Schirpke's double to right center.
Drew Ries then singled to center to score Schirpke to give Stout the lead back at 3-2. Kargel gave the Blue Devils an insurance run in the top of the ninth, singling home Leyton Bowers to give Stout a 4-2 lead.
