Baseball Drops to Barton; Defeats Chowan

WILSON, N.C. - In a voyage to Eastern North Carolina, the Lenoir-Rhyne Baseball Team split the mid-week doubleheader against a couple of Conference Carolinas foes. 

In the first game of the day, the Bears had four different players to crush home runs off Barton, with Sal Carricato, Tyler McPeak, Zach Evans, and Blake Bean all going yard. 

However, the Bulldogs produced two dominant innings with a six-run fifth and a seven-run eighth to pull away from the Bears in a 15-9 final. 

In the second game of the day, the Bears found a way to shut down Chowan as the Hawks only had one hit throughout the entire contest. 

While the Bears did give the opportunity to players who have not experienced much in-game action so far this season, the group helped produce only the second shutout of the season in the 6-0 final.

INSIDE THE MATCHUP 
Final Game One: Barton 15, Lenoir-Rhyne 9
Final Game Two: Lenoir-Rhyne 6, Chowan 0
Records: Lenoir-Rhyne (14-7), Barton (16-3), Chowan (6-14)
Location: Wilson, N.C. | Nixon Field (Game 1) | Fleming Stadium (Game 2)

STATS OF GAME ONE:
  • LR matches its single-game most with four home runs against Barton. The Bears hit four against Flagler in their season opener back on Feb. 2.
  • Bean and Evans led the Bears as each player recorded two hits and two RBIs. The pair got both of their RBIs through their home runs.
  • Carricato hit home runs in back-to-back games for the first time this season. The junior leads the team with six home runs.
  • The Bears had some disciplined at-bats after only striking out on three occasions. That is the fewest since Feb. 23 against Lincoln Memorial.
  • LR allowed 15+ runs for the fourth time this season. All four occurrences have happened in the past seven games.
  • This was one of sloppiest games of the season for LR with four errors. That ties a single-game high to when the Bears committed four errors in a 7-5 victory against Flagler on Feb. 3.
  • The Bears hit four Barton batters throughout the contest. That ties the most the Bears have hit in a single game; the last time it occurred was on Feb. 24 vs. Lincoln Memorial.
STATS OF GAME TWO:
  • The Bears had its best pitching performance of the season by recording its second shutout on the campaign and allowing only one hit.
  • Tyler Parks, who earned the win, had his longest pitching performance of the season with five innings on the mound.
  • The combined bullpen of Randan Rigdan, Bradyn Coletta, Andy Cook, Brynden Rodriguez, and Michael Ribis struck out 11 batters. The group of LR pitchers also did not allow a single hit and only two walks.
  • Eli Willen connected for his first hit of the season, which was a solo home run in the ninth inning.
  • Ethan Caschetta had a team-high three-hit performance for the Bears. The junior recorded a single in all three of his hits, including a RBI hit in the first inning.
  • Cole Stanford connected on a 2-RBI single in the fourth inning. The redshirt junior drove in Miller St. John and Caschetta.
  • Alex Rich and Cole Nelson each had multi-hit games for the Bears. The pair each had two singles on the evening.
BEYOND THE BOX SCORE
  • Head Coach Chris Ramirez coached in his 200th game at Lenoir-Rhyne against Barton. He becomes only the fifth coach in program history to have coached 200+ games in Hickory.
  • In the all-time series history between LR and Barton, the Bears still lead 37-35.
  • With the victory over Chowan, LR has swept its third opponent of the season. The Bears swept Flagler and Southern Wesleyan in the first two weekend series of the campaign.
  • Against Conference Carolinas competition this season, the Bears have a 6-2 record. LR will have one more contest against a Conference Carolinas side, Barton, on Tuesday, April 23 in Hickory, N.C.
  • With the location change for the Chowan matchup, the Bears earned their first neutral victory of the season. LR and Chowan squared off at Fleming Stadium, which is home to the Coastal Plain League's Wilson Tobs.
UP NEXT: The Lenoir-Rhyne Baseball Team will conclude its nine-game road stretch with a three-game series against No. 1 ranked Tampa. The Bears and the Spartans will begin their weekend set on Friday, March 8 at 6 p.m. from Tampa, Fla.
