Falcons Earn 8-5 Victory Over Ball State On Senior Day
May 02, 2021 | Baseball
Box Score
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University baseball team earned an 8-5 victory over first-place Ball State University on Sunday (May 2) afternoon. The Mid-American Conference weekend series was played at Steller Field at Gary Haas Stadium. The contest served as the program's Senior Day, as seniors Andy Gaytan, David Stopp and Nathan Lohmeier were honored in a pre-game ceremony.
The Falcons picked up their 10th conference win of the season, moving to 10-14 within the league. BGSU, with 16 conference games remaining on the schedule, has already reached double-digit MAC wins for the first time since 2015.
The Falcons struck first, as Jared Johnson's solo home run over the right-field scoreboard gave the hosts a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third. Ball State claimed a 3-1 lead in the top of the fifth, but Bowling Green changed the outlook of the ballgame in the bottom half with a six-run fifth inning.
Dylan Dohanos and Gaytan recorded consecutive RBI singles to knot the score at 3-3. After Tyler Haas walked with the bases loaded and Jack Krause plated another run with a ground out, Nathan Rose capped the rally with a two-RBI single into right field. Rose's knock put the Falcons on top by a score of 7-3.
Adam Fallon scored BGSU's final run of the game in the sixth. After a leadoff single, Fallon stole second. He then stole third, and was able to trot home on the play after the catcher's throw sailed into left field.
The Falcons received three strong performances on the mound. Gage Schenk moved to 4-0 in MAC play by battling through six innings of work. Lohmeier picked up the next four outs for BG, before Jeremy Spezia notched his first save of the season. Spezia struck out two and did not surrender a hit on his way to a five-out save.
COACH HALLOCK QUOTE
"Today was a complete team win. Our players did a great job of performing at a high level for all 27 outs. Jared Johnson's home run got us off to a positive start and his single was also a momentum shift to our side. The six-run inning was a grown-up response to their three runs in the top half. Adam Fallon has the ability to be a spark for us with how he handles the bat and runs. His double, single and two steals are a difference-making dynamic he brings to the table. Nate Rose's two-strike, two-out base hit to right center was the offensive play of the game for us. He keeps getting better at the plate. Tyler Haas put together three really good at bats from the middle of the order. He took what he was given and kept the ball rolling for us. Ryan Johnston at short stop was key. He made some plays most short stops can't make. Andy Gaytan in right field was outstanding all weekend. He cares about defending and we feel comfortable every time the ball is hit to him.
"On the mound, Gage Schenk set the tone with his mix of pitches and location the first two times through the order. He only walked one and forced action with their bats, which plays to his strengths. He's hard to get three hits off of in an inning. Nate Lohmeier was the perfect bridge after Gage. He didn't give in and competed every pitch, which is what we love about Nate. Jeremy Spezia waited patiently all weekend for his moment in the spotlight and delivered big time. He's a team player and for him to close the door like that is a sign of good things to come for him and us as a team.
"Congratulations to our graduates, seniors and their respective families! Today was the team we have been on the road and it was nice to show our home crowd our potential and get a win to finish the weekend."
