YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University baseball team clinched a Mid-American Conference series victory over Bowling Green State University with a 7-3 win over the Falcons Sunday, May 3, at Oestrike Stadium.
Carter White (Shelby County, Ky./Shelby County/Lincoln Memorial) got the start and went a career-long 4.2 innings while Jack Angus (Darien, Ill./Montini Catholic/Stetson) (1-0) earned his first win of the season with a scoreless 1.1 innings of work. Brian Henson (Huntsville, Ala./Buckhorn/Northwest-Shoals C.C.) came on to get the final out, earning the first save of his NCAA career.
Offensively, both Ty Stecko (North Huntingdon, Pa./Norwin/Mount St. Mary's) and Kriss Sydlowski (Ann Arbor, Mich./Saline/USC Sumpter) each drove in a pair of runs while Stecko crushed his 11th home run of the season, tying a season-long career-high.
How it Happened
Eastern Michigan struck first in the bottom of the opening frame as Stecko blasted a two-run home run to center field, driving in Bruce Jellison (Hartland, Mich./Hartland/Wabash Valley) for an early 2-0 lead. Bowling Green responded with runs in the second and fourth innings, including an RBI double, to briefly tie the contest at 2-2.
Devan Zirwas (Imperial, Pa./West Allegheny/VCU) helped EMU reclaim the advantage in the fourth, coming around to score on an infield error. The game broke open in the fifth, when the Eagles loaded the bases and capitalized for four runs. Nick Weaver (Streamwood, Ill./Streamwood/Elgin C.C.) was hit by a pitch to force in a run, Keegan Knupp (Lewis Center, Ohio/Olentangy Orange) singled home another, and Sydlowski delivered a two-run single to left center for a 7-2 margin.
Bowling Green scored one run in the eighth, but were unable to match Eastern's total as the game concluded in a 7-3 victory for the Green and White.
Game Notes
» Eastern's record advanced to 15-30 (9-18 MAC), and Bowling Green's dropped to 17-29 (10-17 MAC).
» The Eagles advanced to 2-3 on the season when hits are tied.
» Eastern won its third series of the season and first since it swept the Central Michigan Chippewas in a three-game set, March 27-29. All three of EMU's series wins have come against MAC opponents and taken place at Oestrike Stadium.
» Eastern scored four or more runs in one inning for the 14th time this season with four runs in the fifth inning.
» Ty Stecko (North Huntingdon, Pa./Norwin/Mount St. Mary's) recorded his 11th home run of the season with a two-run shot in the first inning, marking his first home run at Oestrike Stadium this season. His 11 homers rank second on the team, tie his career-high from last season, and slot fourth in the conference by value.
» Ty Stecko recorded his team-best 13th multi-RBI game of the season, driving in two runs off a two-run homer in the first inning. Stecko has totaled 96 RBI in his career as he is four away from reaching the century mark.
» Jack Angus tossed his sixth scoreless outing of the season and third consecutively as he has not allowed a run since his 3.1-inning appearance at Northern Illinois, April 24. He was credited with the win for his first victory of the season.
» Kriss Sydlowski recorded his second multi-RBI game of the season and first since he drove in two in an 8-7 win against SIUE in the second game of a doubleheader, Feb. 28. The series against the Falcons also marks the first where the outfielder has driven in runs in multiple games as he posted one RBI in the 6-1 series-opening win over the Falcons, May 1.
» Carter White made his second start of the season and pitched 4.2 innings, a career high for the lefty. He allowed six hits and two runs, striking out three batters along the way.
» Brian Henson recorded a one-out save to get the Eagles out of a jam in the top of the ninth, the save was his first as an NCAA student-athlete.
» Nick Weaver caught one baserunner stealing. He has now caught a runner stealing in each game of the three-game series against BGSU, elevating his season total to 24 runners caught stealing, leading the MAC. The figure also puts him in the top 10 nationally.
» Freshman infielder Keegan Knupp recorded his sixth multi-hit performance of the season. He knocked in the 15th RBI of his freshman campaign.
Historical Notes
» Eastern held BGSU to three or fewer runs in all three games of the series. The last time it did so in three straight games against any team was May 1-7, 2021, in 13-2, 13-2, and 8-0 wins over St. Bonaventure, Toledo, and Bowling Green, respectively.
» Eastern and Bowling Green met for the 197th time as EMU holds a 114-83 record against the Falcons.
» Eastern's 114 wins against Bowling Green are the most against any opponent in program history.
» Interim Head Coach Trevor Beerman now holds a 2-1 record when facing his former collegiate coach, Kyle Hallock.
» Ty Stecko now totals 22 home runs as an Eagle, tying for 14th in program history by value.

The Eagles will travel to face Youngstown State University on May 6, at 5 p.m.
