Eagles Fall Short Against Oakland

Box Score.

DAYTON, Ohio – The Eastern Michigan University baseball team dropped its final game of the UD/WSU Tournament Sunday morning, March 15, as the Eagles fell, 10-5, to the Oakland University Golden Grizzlies at Time Warner Cable Stadium.

The loss drops EMU to 3-13 this season, while OU improves to 4-8 with the victory.

Freshman Kendall Lewis (Huntsville, Ohio-Indian Lake) took the loss for the Eagles, while OU's Andrew Estes picked up the win.

Senior Kyle Rhoad (Fostoria, Ohio-Elmwood) finished 3-for-3 with a double and one run scored in the loss, while freshman Kyle Klein (Grand Rapids, Mich.-West Catholic) went 2-for-2 with two RBI for EMU.

The Eagles couldn't recover from a four-run second inning by OU, as the Golden Grizzlies got a three-run homer by Taylor Traub to help put EMU down early. OU tallied five more runs in the top of the fifth to take a commanding 9-2 lead.

The Eagles rallied for three runs on three hits in the bottom of the ninth, but it wasn't enough, as OU held off EMU's offense to seal the win.

The Eagles make their much anticipated home debut when they host the Michigan State University Spartans Wednesday, March 18, at Oestrike Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 3:05 p.m.
