Falcons Fall To Bobcats
March 26, 2022 | Baseball
Offensively, Adam Furnas and Nathan Rose continued a strong weekend effort. Rose logged a pair of doubles to go along with a pair of RBI while Furnas was a perfect 3-for-3 at the dish. Over the weekend, the two combined to go 10-for-14 with four doubles, seven RBI and seven runs scored.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Ohio began the game with a leadoff home run, but Tyler Hays responded well getting two batters to strikeout looking, exiting the top of the first down just 1-0.
- Kyle Gurney and Adam Furnas logged back-to-back two-out singles in the bottom of the first to put runners at the corners. A double steal allowed Gurney to cross the plate for the first BGSU run. Nathan Rose followed with a double to left to score Furnas, putting Bowling Green up 2-1.
- A single and walk put two on for Ohio in the top of the second before a home run returned the lead to the Bobcats at 4-2.
- In the bottom of the second Jared Johnson drew a walk before moving to second on a sacrifice bunt. Furnas was able to rip a single to right, scoring Johnson, to cut the deficit down to one at 4-3 Ohio after two.
- The Bobcats extended their lead in the top of the fourth with a grand slam to right field before a double added another, making it 9-3 Ohio.
- A wild pitch later in the inning allowed OU to add to their tally before a two-RBI double down the left field line pushed the score to 12-3 Bobcats.
- A bases loaded, bases clearing double for Ohio made the score 15-3.
- A home run down the right field line in the top of the fifth extended the lead to 16-3.
- In the bottom of the fifth the Falcons saw a two-out rally. Furnas knocked a double into the left field gap to score Jack Krause from first. Nathan Rose repeated nearly the same hit to score Furnas before Tyler Ross hit a double to the right center gap to score Ross, making it 16-6.
- After a scoreless sixth the Bobcats opened the top of the seventh with a solo shot to add to the lead 17-6. A two-run single later in the inning added two more to the OU tally before a bases loaded walk and sacrifice fly made it 21-6.
