Bowling Green, Ohio - Bowling Green got hits from nine different players and sophomore Adam Gumpf allowed just one hit in six innings of work en route to a 15-4 victory over Defiance College on Tuesday afternoon. BGSU snapped a three-game losing streak and improved to 13-6 on the season. Defiance dropped to 2-10.
Gumpf gave up a single to Matt Tycast in the second inning and that would be the only action the Yellow Jackets would get off the left-hander. Gumpf (3-0) struck out four and walked just one to earn his third victory of the season. Junior Bobby Majer collected two doubles and drove in three runs while classmate Dash Yost had two hits and two stolen bases in the victory.
BGSU scored two runs in the first inning, the first coming on a sacrifice fly by Andy Hudak, which scored Yost, and the second via a Josh Dietz single up the middle, scoring Josh Stewart.
Kurt Wells drove in Jimmy Lipari in the fourth inning for a 3-0 BGSU lead before the home team broke the game open with six runs in the fifth inning. The Falcons collected six hits and used one Defiance error to plate the six runs.
BGSU added another run in the sixth inning, four in the seventh inning, and one more in the eighth frame. Defiance scored four runs in the top of the eighth inning off of freshman hurler Bryan Flory before Greg Mentrek pitched the final 1.1 innings.
Junior Nolan Reimold hit his team-leading 10th home run and collected his 32nd RBI of the season in the fifth inning. Hudak and Dietz also contributed doubles.
BGSU travels to Cleveland tomorrow, Wednesday, for a non-conference game against Cleveland State at 3 p.m. The Falcons then host Mid-American Conference foe Central Michigan this weekend (April 1-3) at Warren Steller Field.
