Bowling Green, Ohio - Runs were scored more proportionately in game two of a doubleheader as BGSU swept Marshall on Saturday, 9-8 and 6-4.
Marshall went ahead in the second inning with an RBI-single from Renshaw, 1-0. MU scored two more in the third inning off of a sacrifice fly by Matt White, and when David Colangelo came home on a throwing error by Loomis, for a 3-0 lead.
An RBI-single by Loomis in the home-half of the third cut into Marshall's lead and a three-run homer by Andy Hudak in the fourth inning gave the Falcons the lead, 4-3.
The Herd thundered back, though, tying the score in the top of the fifth inning via a sacrifice fly to right field by Clay DeSantis, 4-4. That would be all Marshall scored, however, as BGSU scored the go-ahead run in the bottom of the fifth and an insurance run in the eighth. Loomis hit his second triple of the day in the fifth inning and scored on a Hunt single, then Hunt was part of a double steal in the eighth and came home on a wild pitch.
BGSU starter Tyler Saneholtz (3-1) went eight innings for the win. He scattered nine hits (one double), allowed four runs (two earned), while walking two and striking out four. Neil Schmitz picked up his fifth save of the season by pitching a perfect ninth inning (two strikeouts). Marshall's Grant Harper (2-5) picked up the loss.
BGSU (16-16 overall, 7-5 MAC) concludes its home series with Marshall (13-20 overall, 4-6 MAC) on Sunday at 1 p.m.
