Huntington, WV - The Bowling Green State University pounded 22 hits on a rainy Easter Sunday to take a 15-6 victory over Marshall and salvage a split of their four-game series with the Thundering Herd.
East Division leading Bowling Green improved to 23-10 overall and 11-4 in MAC play, 2 1/2 games ahead of Marshall in the division, which is 19-15 overall and 7-5 in the MAC
Bowling Green, which is hitting an incredible .348 as a team for the season, had at least one hit in every inning but the third.
Second baseman Corey Loomis had the best day for the Falcons, going 5-for-5 with a two-run homer, four singles and five runs scored. Aric Christman and Lee Morrison also had four hits each for BGSU . Morrison hit a solo homer, his fifth of the series, right after a solo shot by Kelly Hunt in the first inning.
The Falcons got outstanding relief work from Ryan Lindquist (2-0), who worked 6 2/3 innings, allowing just one run on four hits to get the victory. He came on with the bases loaded and one out in the third but left all three Marshall runners stranded to get out of trouble.
