Senior Day provides sweep of Rochester

DU improved to 31-13 overall and have won seven straight

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Davenport baseball team celebrated Senior Day on Saturday with a doubleheader sweep over Rochester by scores of 8-2 and 17-4. The Panthers will say goodbye to six seniors soon, but today was a time to put together another 30-plus win season and extend their win streak to seven games.

GAME 1
Grant Wolfram etched his name into the single season record book at Davenport in the first game win. The sophomore hurler picked up his 10th win of the season becoming the winningest pitcher by going six innings and allowing two earned runs with two walks and four strikeouts. The strikeout total this season is now 76 which broke the record set last year by Corbin Clouse, who is a member of the Atlanta Braves organization.

Senior Jonathan Cheshire earned his seventh save of the season by pitching the final three innings and peppering the strike zone (32 pitches, 28 strikes). He allowed just one hit and struck out four. Dominic Downs got the loss for Rochester throwing 3.2 innings in his start and yielding seven earned runs and six walks.

Davenport scored three runs in the bottom of the first and added three more in the fourth to build a 7-1 lead after four innings. DU collected 10 hits in game one as Austin Petravicius, Nolan Page, Brian Sobieski and Cameron Bair each had a double. Sobieski also hit his ninth home run of the season which is tied for fifth in a season at DU. Sobieski finished 3-for-5 with two runs and three RBI and was a triple short of the cycle. Bair had two RBI and drew a walk.

GAME 2
The Panthers scored 11 runs in the bottom of the fifth inning in game two to take a commanding lead after trailing 4-2 against the Warriors. They would then score four more runs in the sixth and win the game 17-4 in seven innings. DU pounded out 17 hits in the nightcap against four Rochester pitchers. Jesse Rometty took the worst of it giving up nine earned runs in just 2/3 of an inning. Krystien Johnson-Batillana got the start and went 4.2 innings while striking out an impressive 10 batters with just one walk. Cheshire came into relief and got the win recording the final out in the fifth and also pitching in the sixth.

Bair, Aaron Fadden and Jeremy Vasquez each had a double while Brandon Larkin-Guilfoyle had his eighth homer of the season. Larkin-Guilfoyle had three RBI and was 2-for-2. Sobieski and Bair each had two RBI and Vasquez drove in three runs going 2-for-4 with two runs scored.
