BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University baseball team registered 17 hits en route to a 15-5 victory over Youngstown State University on Tuesday (March 26) afternoon at Steller Field.

After taking a 3-0 lead after one, the Falcons broke the game open with a five-run second. Bowling Green went on to plate one in the third, three in the fourth, one in the seventh and two more in the eighth.
Gage Schenk picked up his first-career win, as he allowed two hits and one run over 3.0 innings of work. Damon Egnor and Daniel Buratto worked scoreless appearances, as well, logging 2.0 innings and 1.1 innings, respectively.
Eight different Falcons recorded at least one hit on the day, led by a 4-for-6 effort from Dylan Dohanos. Mike Malewitz and Ty Suntken posted three hits apiece, while Brad Croy and Neil Lambert each had two hits. Cam Daugherty led the Falcons with three runs scored.
COACH SCHMITZ QUOTE
"This was a great team win for us. A lot of guys contributed and we were able to get a lot of players into the game. I thought our team lost its focus for stretches during the game, and that is something that we can work on, but I am very happy with how we came out and set the tone. Youngstown State is a team that's had our number, and it was nice to get a win heading into another big conference weekend."
