Bowling Green, Ohio - In game two, Ohio again jumped out to an early lead with two runs in the first inning. But the Bobcats held on to split the Mid-American Conference doubleheader at Bowling Green with a 6-3 win in the night cap.
Adam Fox hit a two-run single off of BG starter Tyler Saneholtz in the first inning for the 2-0 lead. Then Mike Arbinger hit an RBI-single and scored later off of a Fox double to extend its lead to 4-0 over the Falcons.
BG cut into the lead in the bottom of the third inning when Nate Henschen scored off of a single by Tim Newell.
Neither team threatened again until the bottom of the sixth when Nick Elrod reached on a fielding error by shortstop Omari Briscoe. Back-to-back singles by Kelly Hunt and Corey Loomis loaded the bases for Len Elias. The outfielder grounded into a double play, but scored Elrod cutting the Ohio lead to 4-2.
However, Ohio added a run in the seventh and eighth innings to push the lead back to 6-2. Newell scored BG's final run in the bottom of the eighth off of a single by Elias to left field, but the Falcons left the bases loaded to end the inning.
OU's Marc Cornell (2-3) earned the win in seven innings of work while Dan O'Rourke picked the save. Freshman Tyler Saneholtz (1-1) picked his first loss in a BG uniform, lasting six and one-third innings, allowing five runs on eight hits, three walks and four strikeouts.
BG (10-14 overall, 3-4 MAC) wraps up its four-game series with Ohio on Sunday, April 7, with a nine-inning game beginning at 1 p.m. at Warren Steller Field.
