Box Score
ATHENS, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University baseball team moved to 4-0 in Mid-American Conference play with a 7-3 victory over Ohio University on Friday (March 29) evening. The ballgame was played at OU's Bob Wren Stadium. The Orange and Brown posted 13 hits in the winning effort.
Bowling Green starter, sophomore Andrew Abrahamowicz, picked up his second-career win on the night. The righty tossed 6.0 innings of one-run ball, and the only run he surrendered in the contest was unearned. Abrahamowicz struck out three and did not issue a walk. Fellow sophomore Jeremy Spezia secured the win by hurling 1.1 hitless innings.
The Falcons set the tone early, as RBI singles from Adam Furnas and Neil Lambert gave Bowling Green a 2-0 lead in the third inning. The Bobcats would get on the board in the bottom half, but Bowling Green proceeded to break the game open with a four-run fifth.
Ryan Johnston was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, and then Dylan Dohanos cleared the bases with a three-RBI double. Dohanos' extra-base hit pushed BGSU's lead up to 6-1. Brad Croy notched an RBI single in the sixth, prior to Ohio concluding the game's scoring with single runs in the seventh and eighth.
The top four in Bowling Green's batting order – Mike Malewitz (2-for-5), Jake Wilson (2-for-5), Adam Furnas (3-for-5), and Croy (3-for-5) – each recorded multiple hits.
COACH SCHMITZ QUOTE
"This was a great way to begin another important weekend. We had a number of key two-out hits, and Andrew Abrahamowicz kept putting up zeros. In order for Game 1 to mean anything, we'll need to come out and play another strong game tomorrow morning."
