PITTSBURGH, Pa. – The IU Kokomo baseball team split Friday afternoon's doubleheader at Point Park, winning game one 5-4 after scoring three runs in the ninth, before dropping game two 10-1.

Game One Offensively
  • IU Kokomo found the scoreboard first, scoring two in the top of the third for an early 2-0 lead. Tahj Borom and Riley Garczynski had consecutive one-out singles, before Borom scored on a Thomas Obergell sac-fly and Garczynski scored on a Tucker Platt single.
  • Point Park immediately responded to tie the game 2-2, scoring the two runs on two hits and one error.
  • Neither team managed to score again until the seventh, when the Pioneers scored a pair of runs on three hits to take their first lead of the game at 4-2.
  • Trailing 4-2 in the top of the ninth, Platt led off the inning with a single and Noah Hurlock followed with a two-run homer to left-centerfield to tie the game at four. Luke Barnes reached via HBP and pinch-runner Gavin Smith scored on Garczynski's third-hit of the game for a 5-4 lead.
  • Brandon Bultemeier slammed the door-shut in the bottom of the ninth, retiring the Pioneers in order.

Game One Pitching
  • River States Conference Pitcher of the Year candidate Lucas Letsinger pitched well again Friday afternoon, tossing another seven strong innings. Letsinger allowed four runs (three earned) on eight hits and one walk while striking out five.
  • Brandon Bultemeier came out of the pen and delivered a pair of scoreless innings to earn the win and improve to 3-0 on the season. Bultemeier allowed no  baserunners in his two innings of work, striking out a pair of Pioneer hitters.

Game Two Offensively
