Lords run streak to 12 with sweep of Wabash

GAMBIER, Ohio – The Kenyon College baseball team ran their win streak to a program-best 12 games with a doubleheader sweep of Wabash College. The Lords took game one 5-1 behind Alex Gow's second complete game of the season. In game two, Kenyon erased an early 2-0 deficit to win 10-4.

GAME ONE

The Lords started the scoring right away in the bottom of the first inning by loading the bases with one out. Luke Meister grounded one to the pitcher who secured the force out at home, but the bases remained loaded. On the very next pitch, Tripper Capps forced in a run by getting hit by a pitch. With Kenyon up 1-0, starter Alex Gow went right back to work on the mound. 

Kenyon tacked on two more in the bottom of the fifth on Meister's RBI single and Capps' sacrifice fly to score Andrew Rabinowitz. Back-to-back doubles by Gow and Rabinowitz to lead off the seventh inning gave the Lords a 4-0 advantage with Gow still cruising on the mound. 

With nine strikeouts through seven innings, Gow went out to the mound for the eighth inning. Wabash seemed as though they might have cracked Gow by lifting a sacrifice fly to score a run from third. After breaking the shutout, the Little Giants' AJ Reid lined a single to put runners on the corners once again. Reid followed his hit with a stolen base, but that would be all Wabash could muster in the eighth as Gow struck out Liam Patton to end the side. The Lords added a run in the bottom half on an error, pushing the score to -1.

Despite the long eighth inning, Gow went right back out to the mound for the ninth inning. Gow struck out the first batter before giving up a single. The senior responded by striking out the next two Little Giants' hitters, running his strikeout count to 13. At the end of the day, Gow scattered six hits and one walk on the day while giving up one earned run.

GAME TWO

After a scoreless first inning, Wabash found success off of Frank Lynch, scoring a pair with two outs. Seemingly stunned, the Lords went quietly in the home half of the second. 

Lynch settled back in in the third inning, sitting the Wabash side down in order. In the bottom half of the third inning, an Alexander Hoskins walk and Malcolm Gaynor hit by pitch started a Kenyon rally. A wild pitch moved both runners into scoring position with one out before a passed ball scored Hoskins. Gow stepped up and scored Gaynor with a ground ball to second and tied the score up at two. A bases-loaded wild pitch brought in another run and put the Lords ahead by one, knocking the Wabash starter out of the game. Following the pitching change, Drew Robinson lined a single to left, scoring Capps and Meister for a 5-2 lead.

Kenyon added two more in the bottom of the fifth on consecutive singles by Robinson and Hoskins with the bases loaded. The Little Giants got both runs back in the top of the sixth on their own consecutive singles.

Looking to add to the lead, Rabinowitz smashed a no-doubter onto Mavec Field for an 8-4 lead. The Lords held onto the lead until the bottom of the eighth when Meister tripled in pinch-runner Preston Henigan and Capps singled in Meister. 

In the top of the ninth, Noah Rosenberg continued his lights-out performance with two ground outs to start the inning before striking out the final batter of the game. 

After a few days off, Kenyon looks to build on its program-best win streak on Saturday at DePauw University. First pitch of the doubleheader between the Tigers and Lords is scheduled for 12 p.m.
