GVSU Baseball increases win streak to six games after doubleheader sweep of WV Wesleyan

The Lakers will play Tiffin in a single 9 inning game tomorrow

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. – The Grand Valley State baseball team increased their winning streak to six games after a doubleheader sweep of West Virginia Wesleyan on Monday morning/afternoon by scores of 5-3 and 18-2. The Lakers improve to 6-1 overall.
 
Game 1 (W, 5-3)
 
The two teams were scoreless and had combined for just three hits entering the sixth inning before an Anthony Cocco triple and a Jordan Chandler walk and stolen base gave the Lakers second and third with nobody out. Junior Blake Vershum enter the game as a pinch hitter and laid down a bunt, scoring both Cocco and Chandler to give the Lakers a 2-0 lead.
 
GVSU added two more runs on a Nathan Logan triple to right center and another run on Ryan Lorber's RBI bunt to bring the Laker lead to 5-0. WV Wesleyan would add three runs in the sixth and threaten in the seventh, but did not score.
 
Sophomore Sam Leck earned the win, throwing 5.2 innings, while allowing four hits, three runs (0 earned), one walk, and six strikeouts. Senior Luke Hargis came in to finish the sixth inning before closer Michael Barno pitched a scoreless seventh inning to garner his second save of the season.
 
Chandler went 2-for-2 with two walks and Logan totaled 2 RBI to pace the Lakers offense.
 
Game 2 (W, 18-2)
 
GVSU's offense exploded in game two, scoring four runs in the first, three in the second, and six in the third to open up a 13-2 lead through three innings of play. Senior Joe Laudont ripped a two-run double and freshman Nathan Logan recorded a two-run in single in the first inning, while junior Jordan Chandler blasted a three-run homerun in the second inning, his first of the season.
 
Freshman Austin Brown was credited with the win, tossing 3.1 innings of scoreless ball, while striking out five. Juniors Anthony Zurke and Nathan Wargolet each threw clean innings in relief.
 
Freshmen Anthony Fleischauer and Logan each had a team-high two hits with Chandler driving in three runs.
