With Win Over Wheaton Cougars Are Ready For NACC Play

CAROL STREAM, ILL. - The Concordia University Chicago baseball team took the field at Lee Pfund Stadium for the second time this season, dominating the Wheaton Thunder 11-5.  

INSIDE THE BOX
  • Yashion Boswell (Lynwood, Ill.) led at the plate going two-for-four with two runs.
  • Cam Buckley (New Lenox, Ill.) and Michael Kasik (Chandler, Ariz.) were the only two other Cougars to record multiple hits on the day with two apiece as Kasik recorded the lone triple of the day.
  • Jake Mahler (Vernon Hills, Ill.) wrote his name in every statistical category for hitters ont he day with one run, one hit, one RBI, one stolen base, and three walks. 
  • Collectively, the Cougars saw 15 total walks.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Cougars scored first in top of the second inning after a hit from Boswell paired with a fielder's choice would put a runner on second where a single from Brendan Holloway (Vernon Hills, Ill.) would score one. In the bottom half of the inning, a leadoff strikeout from the arm of Dylan Ferraro (Windsor, Colo.) paired with back-to-back flyouts would hand things right back to the Cougar hitters.
  • A single to centerfield from Buckley paired with a single from Brandon Mahler (Vernon Hills, Ill.) would put another run on the board. Back-to-back hits from J. Mahler and Dom Owens (Frankfort, Ill.) would put runners on first and second while tacking another run on with only one out. A walk for Boswell would load the based where a double down the left field line from Xavier Zagerman (Chandler, Ariz.) would score two more and leave two runners in scoring position.
  • A walk for Holloway and Elijah Hickman (Rensselaer, Ind.) wearing a pitch would score one more and re-load the bases. After getting through the entire lineup in one inning, a force out at third would close the top of the third with the Cougars ahead 6-0.
  •  The Thunder would put one up in their half of the inning, but the Cougars would retaliate in the top of the fourth after three walks and a Wheaton error would score the Cougars. 
  • Wheaton would go on a run in the bottom of the fourth and bring the game within three runs, but the Cougars would stay strong at the plate and battle right back. Three runs off two hits and four walks would put the Cougars back ahead by a large margin and put Ferraro back to the bump for the fifth inning where he would retire the inning in four batters. 
  • The Cougars would put their final run of the day up in the top of the sixth inning after a triple from Kasik turned into a run off an errant throw and put the Cougars up 11-4.
  • Wheaton would tack their last run on in the bottom of the eighth inning, but with pitching from Benjamin Tietyen (Oak Creek, Wis.) and Eliot Higgins (Park Ridge, Ill.) the Cougars would close things out with teh 11-5 victory.
