Relief Efforts From Boudreaux, Roder Halt Rocket Bats

By: by Kyle Edmond, BGSU Athletics

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University baseball team started the Battle of I-75 presented by Fremont Federal Credit Union off strong with a 9-5 win on Friday (April 24) at Steller Field. The Falcons jumped out in front with two in the second inning for the first runs of the game. However, Toledo fought back with five runs over the next three frames. A TJ Takats three-run home run tied the game in the fifth before a two-run shot from Andrew DiLodovico in the sixth and another from Sam Seidel in eighth pushed the Falcons in front. CJ Boudreaux and Ty Roder combined for 4.2 innings of scoreless relief to allow the comeback with Roder picking up the win.

HOW IT HAPPENED

In the second inning, the Falcons scored the first run of the game. Anthony Mitta drew a walk and Brayden Curlis was hit by a pitch to put two on for BGSU. Carter Mottice lined a single up the middle to score Mitta for an RBI.
Later in the inning Griffin Scheiderer was hit by a pitch to load the bases, joining Curlis and Mottice, before another hit by pitch, this time by Lance Vickers, forced home Curlis for a 2-0 BG lead.
Toledo answered in the middle innings with one in the third, three in the fourth and one in the fifth for a 5-2 advantage.
Andrew DiLodovico began the bottom of the fifth with a single up the middle. Mitta joined him on base with a fielder's choice that included an error to keep DiLodovico on. With two runners on, TJ Takats came through with a three-run no-doubter to right that went halfway up the branches of the trees beyond the wall, tying the game 5-5.
In the bottom of the sixth, Vickers started off with a double to right center before moving up to third on a deep fly ball from Sam Seidel. DiLodivoco made it count with a two-run home run to straight away for a 7-5 BGSU lead.
In the bottom of the eighth, Vickers again started an inning strong, this time with a single to left before taking second on a wild pitch. Seidel followed with a moonshot to right for a two-run home run and a 9-5 Bowling Green advantage, the eventual final.
