DELAWARE, Ohio — The Earlham College baseball team faced a North Coast Athletic Conference foe on the road for the first time this season on Saturday as the Quakers dropped a doubleheader to Ohio Wesleyan University 13-0, 4-2.

In the opener, Ohio Wesleyan (13-10, 5-5) scored four unearned runs in the first inning off of Earlham junior Alex Anderson (Logansport, IN/Logansport). Anderson (3-3) pitched five innings giving up 12 runs on 10 hits, but only five of the runs were earned.

Junior Tilmon Clark (Winchester, IN/Winchester), sophomore Jake Carr (Richmond, IN/Richmond) and first-year Kyle Stauffer (Kettering, OH/Fairmont) had hits for the Quakers.
 
First-year Corey Murray (Richmond, IN/Richmond) went to the mound for the Quakers (11-11, 1-3) in the second contest. “Corey pitched a great game and gave us a chance to win,” Interim Head Coach Joe Rodden said. “We just didn’t support him.”

Ohio Wesleyan scored once in the second inning and added another run in the fourth. The Bishops made it 4-0 in the fifth with two more runs.

Earlham got going offensively in the sixth when Anderson doubled home a run. The Quakers scored their final tally of the inning on an error by the Bishops.

Murray (1-2) worked 4⅓ innings surrendering four runs on five hits. Only three of the runs were earned. Junior Corey Gareri (Thorntown, IN/Western Boone) threw the last 1⅔ innings for the Quakers giving up a hit and a walk.

In addition to Anderson’s hit, first-years Andrew Morrical (Summitville, IN/Madison-Grant) and Kyle Ripperger (Richmond, IN/Richmond) had singles for the Quakers.
