COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Capital University baseball team closed the book on the 2024 season with a pair of 9-2 losses to Marietta College on Senior Day. The games were played Monday due to a postponement from Sunday's original date. 

With the results, Capital ends the season with an overall record of 10-28 and a 3-15 OAC mark. Marietta advances to the OAC Tournament with a 21-17 record and a 12-6 OAC ledger. 

After the conclusion of game two, the Comets recognized five seniors for their contribution to the program over the years – Kyle Bowles, Adam Frump, Cade Anderson, Connor Feeney and Ben Stevens. 

In game one of the day, neither team could grab a footing offensively as the game cruised into the third inning scoreless. Marietta then pushed across two runs in the third inning and then added three more in the fifth to go in front 5-0. The Comets responded with a two-RBI single from Robby Harrison in the bottom of the fifth that plated Cole Boroff and Jared Carpenter. Unfortunately that would be the scoring for Capital as Marietta went on to score two more in both the seventh and eighth innings to seal the deal 9-2. 

For Capital, the offense collected just three hits – two from Harrison and one from Carpenter. THe Comets did walk five times – two from Cade Anderson and one each from Ben Stevens, Carpenter and Boroff. 

Trevor Woodyard started on the hill and tossed a full four innings before making way for relief. Landon Kim (2.1 IP), Ben Mohler (1.2 IP) and Kyle Bowles (1.0 IP) finished out the game. Bowles – one of five seniors recognized today – ended his career with a strikeout. 

In game two, the offenses started up quickly in the first inning as Marietta went in front 1-0 in the top half of the first. In the bottom half of the opening frame, Capital responded with two runs of their own. First, Robby Harrison collected an RBI on what would have been an RBI groundout, but he reached via an error. Then, Arnulfo Gonzalez singled through the left side to score Cade Anderson. The runs put Capital in front 2-1. 

The lead lasted into the third when Marietta tied it at 2-2. Then, in the fifth inning the Pioneers scored three more to move in front. The visitors didn't look back, adding four more before all was said and done, resulting in the carbon copy 9-2 scoreline again. 

This time, Capital put together seven hits as a team – two from Cade Anderso and Arnulfo Gonzalez and one each from Kielan LaMarr, Connor Feeney and Cole Boroff. Gonzalez also drew a walk. 

Tyler Bebout toed the rubber for the first five innings before making way for Noah Bromberg (1.1 IP), Brian Young, Tyler Sickles (1.2 IP) and Adam Frump (1.0 IP).
