Box Score Milwaukee -- Milwaukee scored all five of its
runs in the first four innings and got another strong outing from
its starting pitcher to defeat the Youngstown State baseball team
5-2 on Sunday at Henry Aaron Field.
The Panthers scored 15 of their 17 runs in the three-game series
in the first three innings. Four of their five runs on Sunday came
after there were two outs.
Jeremy Banks was 2-for-4 with a run scored to lead YSU at the
plate. Jim Lundstrom was one of three Panthers to finish with three
hits, and he added two runs and two RBIs.
Lundstrom hit a one-out single in the first and scored on Will
Fadness' RBI single. Lundstrom then brought in a run on a
bunt single in the second and came around to score on Jonathan
Capasso's two-run double that made the score 4-0. Lundstrom
doubled home Luke Meeteer in the fourth to put the Panthers ahead
5-0.
Milwaukee starter Mike Schneider faced the minimum number of
batters possible through six innings, working around three hits by
getting a double play and picking off two runners at first. He
allowed a leadoff walk to Drew Dosch in the seventh before handing
the ball off to the bullpen, but Jake Long was able to keep the
Penguins scoreless in the inning. YSU then had runners at first and
second with nobody out in the eighth before Long got a double play
and a pop up to get out of the jam.
Dosch singled and Banks followed with a one-out double to set
the table for the Penguins in the ninth. David Leon brought in
Banks with a ground out, and Banks scored on an error to make the
score 5-2. Dan Hurlimann followed with a single to put the tying
run at the plate, but Jordan Guth struck out Padraic Williams to
end the game.
Schneider improved to 2-4 with the victory, and YSU starter
Blake Aquadro allowed all five runs on 12 hits in the loss.
Youngstown State will host Toledo on Tuesday at 3 p.m.
