Wayne State University's baseball team faced a setback on Senior Day, losing to Purdue Northwest 5-4 at Harwell Field. Despite the loss, Wayne State claimed six out of seven games in their season series against the Pride.
Looking ahead to the postseason, Wayne State will enter as the third seed in the GLIAC Tournament. They are set to play against Davenport, the fourth seed, on Thursday at Jackson Field in Lansing, Michigan.
The Warriors took an early lead with Reagan Paulina driving in Mason McGuire and Jacoby Dale with a single during the second inning. Owen Tuccinardi extended their advantage by bringing CJ Maury home with an RBI single in the third inning.
Purdue Northwest responded with runs in consecutive innings—fourth through sixth—to take a 5-3 lead. The bottom of the ninth saw some action from Wayne State when Dale singled and later scored on another hit by Paulina. However, a double play ended their chance for a comeback.
Ashton Potts pitched for 5.2 innings but suffered his third loss of the season after allowing five runs on eight hits. Macio Miller provided strong relief pitching without giving up any runs over three-and-a-third innings.
