Box Score
The Bowling Green State University baseball team defeated Eastern Kentucky 22-2 on Saturday. It was the second time this week that the Falcons have scored at least 22 in a game, and also the second time they have had a 14 run inning this week, doing so in the third inning today.
Sophomore right-hander Ethan McKenny spun a gem, pitching a complete game and striking out eight. McKenney only allowed two runs in the game, on the way to his first victory of the season. McKenney was helped by the offensive output by the Falcons, as they scored 22 runs in the game, the second time this week that the Falcons have scored at least 22 runs in a game.
Sophomore Andrew Kubuski led the Falcons offensively in Saturday's contest, going two-for-three with two runs scored, two home runs, and seven RBI. Drew Kuns also played well for the Falcons, legging out his first triple of the season, and driving in five runs. T.J. Losby had three RBI in the game, to bring his team-leading total to 19 on the season.
The Falcons would get on the board in the second inning to take a 1-0 lead against the Colonels, courtesy of Andrew Kubuski's two-out home run. The Falcons would break the game open in the top of the third, scoring 14 runs on 10 hits to take a 15-0 lead after the top of the third.
Jake Thomas and Brandon Howard led off the third with singles, followed by a Jeremy Shay walk to load the bases. Losby would then double, followed by a Kuns single, to take the 4-0 lead. Logan Walker would reach on an infield single, followed by the first out of the inning—an Andrew Kubuski sacrifice fly to give the Falcons a 6-0 lead. Jesse Rait would single home a run, before Brian Bien would move the runners over on a sacrifice fly. The Falcons would then get eight straight base runners with two outs to take the 15-0 lead. Andrew Kubuski would make sure that the first six base runners that reached with two outs would not be stranded, as he knocked a grand slam, his second home run of the game.
The Colonels would get on the board in the bottom of the third, but the Falcons would put them away with five more in the top of the fourth to take a 20-1 lead after just 3.5 innings. Bowling Green would add two more in the top of the eighth, before the Colonels scored their second, and final, run of the game in the bottom of the ninth. The Falcons outhit the Colonels 21-5 in the game, while neither team committed an error.
The Falcons and Colonels will play the rubber-game of the series tomorrow afternoon at 1 pm at Turkey Hughes Field.
