Charles Grove Sports Writer grove.9@wright.edu Things are starting to click for the Wright State baseball team. WSU is coming off a successful weekend where the team won the Joe Nuxhall classic in Cincinnati for the second straight season. The Raiders followed it with a series victory on the road against

Illinois-Chicago. WSU’s record now sits at 16-17 and an even 6-6 in the conference, which is good enough for a second place tie—two games back of leader Milwaukee. Last weekend’s Joe Nuxhall classic at UC saw the Raiders face other local universities in southwest Ohio. WSU soundly put away the Miami Redhawks in game one by a score of 10-2. Starting pitcher E.J. Trapino was unable

to get out of the fourth inning after giving up the two Redhawk runs. Reliever Cody Kopilchack FDPH LQ ÀULQJ EXOOHWV DOORZLQJ no hits and just one walk, while striking out six in four innings of work. WSU pitching held Miami KLWOHVV IURP WKH ÀIWK LQQLQJ RQ The hits that WSU did not give up to Miami were given up to the Cincinnati Bearcats the following evening. Cincinnati scored 16 runs on 17 hits but even that wasn’t enough to stop a WSU offense which racked up 20 hits in a 19-16 win.

UC helped the Raider offense by committing six errors. The Raiders feasted on Bearcat pitching as well. Eight of the nine WSU starters in the lineup Ă€QLVKHG ZLWK PRUH WKDQ RQH base hit. WSU manager Rob Cooper said he was proud his team found a way to win. “It was not a pretty game by any means,â€? Cooper said. “But when we got down, we came right back and found a way to win. It’s always good to beat the teams in your area.â€?

After dropping the opening game to the Flames 6-1 on Friday, the Raiders swept a double header on Saturday by scores of 6-4 and 11-6. Cooper said his team faces the challenge of winning multiple games in a row to take home a conference championship, something WSU last did in 2011.

“If we have our regular lineup on an outdoor court, that’s going to be more of an equalizer,� McNamara said. As far as the men go, simply coasting into the conference tournament is not an option. The men’s team sits third with a 3-1 conference record behind Green Bay (5-0) and Cleveland State (4-1). If the men’s team sweeps Youngstown State and Cleveland State this upcoming weekend, the Raiders will clinch second place and a bye in the conference tournament. WSU would then only need to win two matches to advance to the www.theguardianonline.com

NCAA Tournament. Head coach Sean McCaffrey said he was proud of the effort the men showed their last road trip despite losing to conference foe Green Bay (5-2) and Marquette (4-3). Against Marquette, Hayden Joblin defeated Marquette’s best player in three sets, 7-6, 6-7, 6-4. But Marquette’s other players were able to stop the upset bid. WSU plays Youngstown State on Friday at the South Regency Tennis Center in in Miamisburg while the Cleveland State match will be at the WSU tennis courts Sunday at 2 p.m. April 17, 2013
