Miami Wraps Up Conference Play With 12-11 Loss to Ohio

OXFORD, Ohio— The RedHawks lost to Ohio 12-11 Sunday after a brutal comeback by the Bobcats. Ryland Zaborowski put up two home runs during the attempt. The RedHawks drop to 25-23 (17-13 MAC) with the loss, while the Bobcats move to 16-30 (11-16 MAC) with the win.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Patrick Mastrian IV held the Bobcats hitless in the top of the first, ending the inning with a pickoff at second base.
  • Zach MacDonald walked in the bottom of the first and stole second, his 14th stolen bag of the year. Batusich then turned a six pitch at-bat into a single, advancing MacDonald to third. Miami's first run of the day then came on an RBI single by Evan Appelwick.
  • Anthony Zarlingo singled to load the bases. This set up Ryland Zaborowski for a single to right field that scored Batusich to make it 2-0.
  • Ryan Novak then took an HBP, walking in Appelwick for run number three and keeping the bases full. David Novak was also hit by a pitch on the next at-bat, bringing Miami to a 4-0 lead.
  • Mastrian IV faced three batters and sent three down in the top of the second.
  • MacDonald led off the second with another walk and advanced to third on a single by Batusich.
  • Zarlingo recorded an RBI with a sacrifice fly, driving in MacDonald. Zaborowski then doubled to left center, bringing Batusich back to home plate for the RedHawks' sixth run.
  • Ryan Novak then doubled into the left field corner, making it 7-0 for Miami and forcing a pitching change for Ohio.
  • Ohio's Nick Dolan walked in the third and advanced on another walk, this time by Alex Finney. With two outs, Gideon Antle turned a 14-pitch at-bat into a base after being hit by pitch number 14.
  • Caleb Karll doubled to left field, bringing three around and making it a 7-3 game after the top of the third.
  • Tyler Gordon led off the bottom of the third with a single up the middle and advanced to second on a groundout and third on a passed ball. MacDonald then hit an RBI groundout to put Miami ahead 8-3.
  • Carson Byers struck out three batters in the top of the fourth, holding Ohio scoreless.
  • Appelwick took a leadoff walk in the bottom of the fourth and advanced on a wild pitch. Zaborowski crushed a 404-footer over the centerfield wall to bring Miami's run total to double digits.
  • Byers held the Bobcats scoreless again during innings five and six, keeping the lead at 10-3.
  • Finney walked for Ohio to lead off the seventh. Karll then reached first on a fielder's choice, and Finney took second due to a throwing error. AJ Rausch drove in Finney with an RBI single to make it 10-4.
  • Three back-to-back singles by Bryce Smith, Nick Dolan and JR Nelson loaded the bases with no outs to start the eighth for the Bobcats. Finney took a BB and walked in an Ohio run.
  • A sac fly by Antle scored Dolan. Karll then singled to left, loading the bases once again, this time with one out. Rausch walked in another run, cutting the deficit to three.
  • Trae Cassidy was the next batter to record a BB, walking after a 3-1 count to push Finney to home plate and make it 10-8.
  • Continuing the on-base streak, Smith took an HBP, pushing Karll into score and putting the tying run at home plate with two outs.
  • Nick Dolan then doubled to left center, scoring three runners and taking the lead for Ohio for the first time at 12-10.
  • Nolan Hollis came out of the bullpen. Nelson walked, advancing Nelson to second, but Hollis came up with the third out to get out of the jam and end the unfavorable inning for Miami.
  • Hollis and Connor Preisel managed three outs to keep Miami within two headed to the bottom of the ninth.
  • Leading off, Zaborowski took an 0-1 count and hit his tenth home run of the season, to pull the RedHawks within one.
  • With one out, David Novak singled to right field. Gordon then hit towards the first baseman and beat the tag, recording an infield single and advancing Keels, who pinch ran for Novak.
  • A flyout sent Tré Keels to third, but a popout cut the rally short, capping off a 12-11 final score.
