by BW No. 3 Baseball Overpowers No. 1 Johns Hopkins, Splits in Day One of Baltimore Invitational
Per BW Press Team
BALTIMORE, Md. – The No. 3 nationally ranked Baldwin Wallace University baseball team took down Arcadia (Pa.) University by a score of 10-6 in the final day of the Baltimore Invitational hosted by Johns Hopkins (Md.) University on Babb Field inside Stromberg Stadium.
BW (3-1) looked to get even with Arcadia (2-1) after a 10-inning thriller yesterday, and did so by taking a 5-2 lead after three innings to answer an early Knights homer. Arcadia stormed back to tie the ballgame in the fifth but the Yellow Jacket offense would go on to outscore the opposition 5-1 in the final four innings to hand the Knights their first loss of the season.
