Buffalo, N.Y. - Bowling Green's Burke Badenhop held Buffalo scoreless after the first inning while Nolan Reimold and Andy Hudak supplied offensive fireworks for the Falcons in a 7-2 victory over the Bulls on Easter Sunday in Buffalo.
Reimold became just the seventh player in BGSU history to record two triples in one game with a couple of three-baggers on Sunday. The last Falcon to accomplish such a feat was Larry Arndt on March 21, 1982, vs. Lewis. Reimold finished the day 4-for-5 with three runs scored, two RBIs, one double and two triples.
Reimold drove home two runs in the first inning to give the Falcons a brief 2-0 lead. His single into left field scored Eric Lawson and David Barkholz. Buffalo tied the score at 2-2 in the first inning off of three hits and a Falcon error.
Badenhop settled down afterwards and allowed just four more hits and no runs over the next seven innings. The righthander allowed two runs (one earned) with two walks and two strikeouts.
BGSU went ahead in the third inning when Hudak brought home Reimold via a home run over the left field. It was his second homer of the year and gave the Falcons a 4-2 lead.
The Falcons added another run in the seventh inning off of an RBI-single by Jeff Warnock and two more in the ninth inning thanks to an RBI-single by Hudak and a groundout by Warnock.
Reimold (4-for-5), Hudak (2-for-3), and Tyler Wasserman (2-for-3) were the only Falcons with multiple hits.
BGSU improves to 16-7 overall and 5-4 in the MAC while Buffalo dropped to 7-20 overall and 1-4 in the MAC.
