ST. LOUIS, Mo. - The Davenport baseball team got right back in the win column on Friday with a convincing 15-4 win over Maryville. One day after squandering a lead late against Missouri-St. Louis, the Panthers left no doubt in this one.
Dalton O'Boyle pitched another solid game and improved to 3-0 this season. He went 6.2 innings and allowed six hits while striking out nine on 104 pitches.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Panthers kept the pressure on all game scoring in each of the nine innings. DU scored three times in the sixth and ninth, two times in the fourth and seventh, and single runs in the first, second, third, fifth and eighth innings.
It looked promising from the start as
Nolan Anspaugh led off with a home run to right center. It was his first as a Panther.
Kamrin Markwardt did the same to start the second inning for a 2-0 lead. It was his first jack of the season.
The middle innings was where the game started to become lopsided. DU took a 3-2 lead and increased it to 9-2 after six innings. In the fourth inning,
Carson Eby doubled to lead off the inning and later scored on a wild pitch.
Roman Trujillo also had a RBI groundout which scored
Christian Petre who reached by getting plucked.
In the sixth inning, DU scored all three runs with two outs.
Nolan Bryant singled to center and advanced Anspaugh to second after he reached on a fielder's choice.
Jacob Buchberger went opposite field for his fifth home run of the season. O'Boyle exited in the seventh after the Saints scored twice.
Michael Lincoln came in and ended the inning on a ground out right back at him.
Travis Harvey doubled with one out in the eighth and took third on a wild pitch.
Noah Marcoux walked and took second on a wild pitch as Harvey scored. Lincoln then tossed a clean eighth inning and struck out three in his appearance.
Luke LaLumia mopped up in the ninth and walked a pair but also got a double play and a fly out to center to end the game.
