KENTWOOD, Mich. – The Davenport baseball team took two from Siena Heights today, both in comeback fashion.  The Panthers used late inning runs to earn a 10-9 game one win and a 8-6 game two win in 10 innings.  The Panthers pushed their season win total to 30 on the year.

Game One

The Panther baseball team used a five run eighth inning and a walk of RBI single by Drew Kennedy to take a 10-9 decision from Siena Heights in game one.  Kennedy was 3 for 5 from the plate with two runs scored and the one RBI and helped lead the Panthers.  Austin Licon was a huge factor as well going 3 for 4 with three RBI, all three of which came in the Panthers big eighth inning.

Chad Detwiler earned the victory going three innings allowing one hit, no runs, while walking two.  Jordan Anderson was the game one starter, he went five and a third giving up seven hits, five runs (four earned) walking five and also striking out five Saints batters.

Game Two

Panther starter Drew Sain pitched a hard fought game two going eight innings allowing six hits, six runs (five earned) while walking five and striking out nine.  Corey Anderson would earn the win in relief going one inning and allowing one hit, no runs, walking a batter and striking out two.  Ryan Butzer would earn the save going one inning while allowing only one hit, one walk, and no runs.

Offensively the Panthers came from behind again scoring two in their last scheduled at-bat in the seventh and then scoring two more in the top of the tenth to win the game.  Cam Cooper was productive in game two with a 3 for 6 day at the plate and scored two runs.  Eric Cummings also gave the Panthers an offensive lift going 3 for 5 and scoring twice.  However the hero once again was Drew Kennedy whose tenth inning two run homerun gave the Panthers the lead for good.  Kennedy went 2 for 5, scored a run and had three RBI to pace DU in game two.
