Mideast Regional - Game 6 - May 21, 1999
Despite losing to Wooster three times during the season, Ohio Wesleyan could make up for all those losses with a win over Wooster Friday night (May 21) in Game 6 of the Mideast Regional. The Bishops did just that, capitalizing on some shaky Wooster defense to post a 7-2 win and become the only team of the five remaining to not have a loss in the tournament.
Wooster got on the board first, scoring a run in the top of the second on a single by Sean Malone. The lead was shortlived, however, as Ohio Wesleyan scored three times in the bottom of the third. Although all three runs were earned, a fly ball that fell between left fielder Jeff Nowoczynski and center fielder Jared Treadway gave the Bishops the bases loaded with one out instead of runners at first and second with two outs. Jason Bogenrife followed with a two-run single, and a sacrifice fly by Drew Caravella scored the third run of the inning.
Ohio Wesleyan scored a single run in the sixth to make it 4-1, then scored three unearned runs in the seventh to put the game away. An error by shortstop Trevor Urban at shortstop coupled with a passed ball contributed to the three-run outburst.
Picking up the win was Shawn Conn (10-2), who went the distance, allowing only two runs. Ben Maibach took the loss, allowing 10 hits and four earned runs in six innings.
Offensively, Dan Marchetti went 3-for-4 for Ohio Wesleyan, while Urban was 3-for-5 for Wooster.
Wooster will now face Marietta Saturday at 12 p.m., while Ohio Wesleyan awaits the winner of that game tomorrow at 7 p.m.
