BGSU Splits Doubleheader With RedHawks To Take Weekend Series
March 26, 2023 | Baseball
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University baseball team split the Sunday (March 26) doubleheader against the Miami (OH) RedHawks, taking the weekend series 2-1 after a win on Friday (March 24). The Falcons claimed the first game of the doubleheader in a 12-3 final, but the RedHawks evened the day for the split with a 6-2 score in game two. The win in game one matched the best home start for the Falcons since 2008, winning their first four at Steller Field this season. The doubleheader split moves Bowling Green to 8-13 on the season while being 4-5 within the Mid-American Conference.
In the first game of the day, Peyton Wilson recorded a strong start for the Falcons, fanning a career-high 10 over seven innings to match the longest outing of his college career on his way to his first win of the season on the mound. Landon Willeman took over from there, pitching two scoreless relief innings with a pair of strikeouts. The offense for BGSU was fueled by two Nathan Rose home runs as well as three RBI from Gavin Ganun. Sam Seidel added a round-trip knock as well, his first home run at Steller Field as a Falcon and second of the season.
As for the second game, the Bowling Green offense was highlighted by a two-run home run from Adam Fallon in the second inning, but it would end up being the only runs for the Orange and Brown. On the mound, both DJ Newman and Owen Recker produced scoreless appearances out of the bullpen, combining for five strikeouts over the last 2.1 innings of the game.
