Curlis Tallies Second Home Run In Multi-Hit Effort

By: by Kyle Edmond, BGSU Athletics

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University baseball team concluded the midweek slate on Wednesday (March 25) against Findlay. The Falcons threatened late with a five-run sixth inning and two more in the seventh, but it wasn't enough to overcome the deficit. Findlay held on for the 12-7 final score despite the late BGSU push. The Falcons will shift back to MAC play this weekend, heading on the road to Northern Illinois for a three-game slate before returning home on March 31 to begin a stretch of nine of 10 games at home.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Findlay scored two runs in the top of the first to get out to a 2-0 lead.
In the second inning Pauly Mancino dropped a single into right field for the first BGSU hit of the game, but was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double.
Findlay added seven runs in the third, and one in the fifth for a 10-0 score.
The Falcons got on the board with five runs in the bottom of the sixth. The rally started with singles from Lance Vickers and Zack Horky followed by a Brayden Curlis walk to load the bases. Mancino then drew an RBI walk to push Horky across home.
In the next at-bat, Griffin Scheiderer singled down the third base line to score Vickers and Curlis. Sam Seidel followed by putting a grounder in play to first base. A fielder's choice throw came home, but resulted in an error to score Mancino. Vinny Salvione then hit a sacrifice fly into center allowing Scheiderer to score, cutting the lead down to 10-5.
BGSU cut into the Oilers' lead again in the seventh with a two-run homer by Curlis after a Vickers walk, bringing the deficit down to 10-7.
Findlay added two runs in the top of the ninth to push the score to the eventual 12-7 final.
