BEXLEY, Ohio –  On Saturday afternoon, the Capital University baseball team dropped a pair of games to Baldwin Wallace University. The games finished 11-4 and 14-0 in favor of the visitors. 

With the results, Capital falls to 4-24, while BW improves to 16-12-1 on the year. 

For the Crusaders, Brendan Stinson, Dakota DesteFano, and Cole Callaghan led the way with two hits each. Both DesteFano and Logan White had two RBIs each in game one. 

Game One - BW wins 11-4 (Box Score)
Game one starter Scott Gutstein got going early with a 1-2-3 first inning. However, Gutstein surrendered a lead off walk before Luke Vonderhaar drilled a two-run homer to left, starting the scoring. 

The Yellow Jackets added four more runs in the next inning taking a 6-0 lead. 

Capital got their damage done in the bottom of the fifth in a comeback bid. Three straight singles from Ryan Henne, Cole Callaghan and Konnor Black loaded the based. There, Logan white singled up the middle to score Henne and Callaghan. Brendan Stinson then walked, loading the bases yet again. This time, Dakota DesteFano singled to left field, scoring both Black and White. The damage all came off Yellow Jacket starter, Dawson Gabe (1-0). 

In the sixth, BW changed pitchers to Matt Sabin mixing it up on the Crusader hitters. Sabin allowed just one hit and one walk in his four innings of work, quickly closing the door on any momentum Capital had from the fifth inning. 

Brennon Newell relieved Gutstein (0-7) in the sixth inning and pitched well across his four innings, but costly errors in the ninth inning led to four unearned runs to Newell's stat line. Gutstein and Newell combined to strikeout six BW hitters. 

Game Two - BW wins 14-0 (Box Score)
In game two, the Yellow Jackets cruised behind a solid start from Gordon Seger (3-1) and used big impact offensive innings to fend put the run-rule in effect on the Purple and White. 

Dudley Taw doubled in the second with bases loaded, scoring three. Then Vonderhaar hit his second homer of the day -- this time a three-run shot to left. Taw then collected two RBIs in the fifth on a single up the middle. In the seventh BW closed it out with four more runs. 

Capital threw four pitchers in the game two loss. Gavin Vanhorn started on the bump and surrendered seven hits and seven runs (four earned). Spencer Knight, Connor McCloy, and Ben Hatfield then combined for the final four innings and allowed a total of nine hits and seven runs. The staff as a whole struckout six. 

Seger earned the win for BW throwing seven innings and allowing just four hits while striking out nine Crusader hitters.

Capital will make the trek to Baldwin Wallace tomorrow for a 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. twinbill.
