WSU pounds YSU baseball team in finale

DAYTON

The Youngstown State baseball team got plenty of offense but couldn’t slow down Wright State as the Penguins dropped the series finale 18-8 to the Raiders on a cold Sunday afternoon at Nischwitz Stadium.

Wright State scored the game’s first five runs, and the Raiders crossed the plate seven times in the fourth inning to take a 12-2 lead.

Youngstown State sprinted back into the game with a five-run fifth, but Wright State countered with three runs in the bottom of the frame and ended up scoring six of the game’s final seven runs.

Drew Dickerson had a team-high three hits, and Zach Farrar had a pair of hits and plated four runs from the designated hitter spot.

Blaze Glenn hit a pair of doubles, and Phillip Glasser, Trevor Wiersma and Web Charles also had hits.
