Bowling Green Travels To Fort Wayne On Wednesday
March 27, 2018 | Baseball
FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The Bowling Green State University baseball team begins a four-game week by heading to Fort Wayne on Wednesday (March 28). The ballgame is slated for a 3 p.m. first pitch at Fort Wayne's Mastodon Field.
The game marks the only meeting between the Falcons and Mastodons in 2018. The two teams were scheduled to play at Steller Field on March 13, but the game was cancelled due to inclement weather.
Bowling Green is coming off a 3-1 week, capped by a series win over Ohio to open up Mid-American Conference play. The Falcons enter Wednesday's game with an overall record of 6-17. Fort Wayne is 4-15.
"Midweek games can be really important in building momentum for the weekend," said head coach Danny Schmitz. "Last week, we were able to get a really nice win over Dayton, and I think that played a part in us getting off to a fast start on the weekend. This is another opportunity to begin a week with a win."

SCHMITZ EARNS WIN NO. 700
• With Bowling Green's 3-1 win over Ohio on March 25, head coach Danny Schmitz earned his 700th win at BGSU.
• Schmitz is the Mid-American Conference's all-time leader in active wins. He is just the second baseball coach in MAC history to reach 700 wins. Fred Decker (1976-2004) won 791 games at Western Michigan.
• Schmitz currently sits third all-time in MAC wins with 364. He needs just five more conference wins to surpass Joe Carbone (1989-2012), who won 368 MAC games at Ohio. Decker leads the way with 401 conference wins.
BACK ON TRACK WITH A 3-1 WEEK
• Last week, the Falcons posted a 3-1 record, beginning with a 5-4 win on Steller Field Opening Day over Dayton on March 21. Dylan Dohanos hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth inning.
• Bowling Green then opened up conference play with a series victory over Ohio.
• The Falcons picked up a 6-4 win on March 23 to open the series, before taking the series rubber match by a score of 3-1 on March 25. Ohio beat BGSU, 11-3, in the middle game.
KODY BROWN NAMED MAC PITCHER OF THE WEEK
• On Monday (March 26), senior left-handed pitcher Kody Brown was named the MAC Pitcher of the Week.
• Brown made three relief appearances on the week, picking up a win over Dayton, before registering two saves against Ohio to help the Falcons claim the weekend series.
• In total, Brown worked 6.1 innings, allowing just one hit and one run while striking out five batters and issuing just one walk.
• Brown pitched a perfect ninth inning against Dayton on March 21, and earned the win when the Falcons scored in the bottom half of the frame. In Friday's (Match 23) MAC opener, the senior pitched the final 2.0 innings to earn the save. In Sunday's (March 25) rubber match, the senior was downright dominant. He turned in 3.1 innings of hitless baseball en route to earning his second save on the weekend. Brown struck out three batters in his final appearance on the week.
