DETROIT, Mich. - The Davenport baseball team gave up double-digit runs for the first time in a month today with a 12-5 loss at No. 12 Wayne State to wrap up the regular season. The Panthers allowed double-digit runs just twice in 30 GLIAC games this season with the other coming against SVSU on April 7 in game two (14-4). Davenport concludes the regular season with a 26-24 record including a second-place finish in the GLIAC at 20-10.

The Warriors jumped ahead 9-0 after four innings and cruised to their 38th win of the season including a 24-6 GLIAC mark. Wayne State will be the one-seed in the upcoming GLIAC Tournament and play No. 6 seed Parkside in their first game. Davenport will play No. 5 seed Purdue Northwest on Thursday at a time to be determined at Cooley Law School Stadium in Lansing, Mich. and home to the Lansing Lugnuts. The Panthers and Pride played three times in last year's tournament with PNW winning the first game of the tournament and DU battling back to win five straight games including two against the Pride in the championship series.

Carter Troncin got his first pitching appearance and start of the season after playing first base in all other games this season. Chris Tanderys hit a solo home run in the second inning to start the scoring for Wayne State. Logan Bursick-Harrington got the ball next for DU in the third inning and surrendered a three-run home run by Rudy Ramirez to center field for a 4-0 lead.

Spencer Vainavicz pitched in the fourth inning and gave up a two-RBI single to Hunter DeLanoy for a 6-0 lead. The Warriors added another run on a passed ball and after a walk to Tanderys, the Panthers handed the ball to Cade Kontny. He gave up a RBI single to CJ Maury and a second run scored on an error to make it 9-0.

Davenport finally broke through with a run in the sixth inning as Logan Todd doubled to left and with two outs it was Ben Mets reaching on an error and Todd scored. Griffin Kilander would finish the sixth inning and get the win. He lasted six innings and allowed five hits and no earned runs with no walks and eight strikeouts.

The Warriors scored three more times in the seventh to lead 12-1. Brandon Skorupski got his first action of the season and yielded a two-run single to Brett Zimmerman and a RBI double to Noah Miller. The Panthers would score one run in the eighth as Mets hit a solo home run for the second consecutive game. DU added three final runs in the ninth, all coming on a three-run blast to left center by Caleb Anspaugh.

Coltrane Rubner had a five-game hit streak end going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. Gaetano Vallone went 2-for-3 in his final regular season game. Todd finished 2-for-4 for his second multi-hit game of the season.
