History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n FRANKLIN, Wis. \u2014 Oakland (11-39, 5-18 HL) fell to Milwaukee (21-31, 13-10 H) with a final score of 8\u20134 on Friday at Franklin Field. Despite collecting 12 hits, including six doubles, Oakland could not overcome Milwaukee’s early start.<\/p>\n Redshirt-junior Sam Griffith<\/a> posted a strong performance at the plate with \u00a0three hits, including two doubles, and crossed\u00a0the plate twice. Junior Nick Mardis<\/a> also had an impressive outing on offense, recording a season-high three hits with two doubles and also scored twice as sophomore\u00a0Aidan Schuck<\/a> added\u00a0two RBIs and a hit to his record. Redshirt-sophomore Lucas Day<\/a> tacked on\u00a0to the team’s efforts with a double, recording a hit and an RBI.<\/p>\n The Panthers started the scoring in the first inning with a two-run homer before Oakland responded in the third. Mardis doubled and later scored on an RBI sac-bunt\u00a0by fifth-year Kyle Revere<\/a>, narrowing the gap to 2\u20131. However, Milwaukee responded with a solo home run, extending its lead by the end of the inning.<\/p>\n Oakland continued to chip away in the fourth frame. Griffith doubled into right-center field and scored on a single by Schuck, bringing the score to 3\u20132. The fifth\u00a0saw Milwaukee add another run with an RBI single, making it a\u00a04\u20132 ballgame.<\/p>\n Oakland’s offense remained persistent in the sixth inning. After Griffith singled and redshirt-senior Jack Lux<\/a> hit a ground-rule double, Schuck’s\u00a0RBI groundout allowed Griffith to score. The Panthers matched that with a run of its own, also scoring on an RBI groundout, keeping the lead at 5\u20133.<\/p>\n In the seventh inning, the Golden Grizzlies’ Mardis singled and scored off a double by Day, reducing Milwaukee’s lead to just a run. Milwaukee answered back with a run of its own on another RBI\u00a0groundout, before extending\u00a0its lead in the eighth inning with a two-RBI single.<\/p>\n Freshman right-hander Josh Rosenblitt<\/a> pitched 3.1 innings for Oakland, allowing just three runs off of five hits, while issuing a strikeout at the plate. Sophomore Wyatt Ruppenthal<\/a> provided brief but effective relief, facing just two batters and throwing four pitches without allowing a hit or run. Redshirt-junior George Hansen<\/a> pitched three innings of work and allowed five runs on four hits before senior\u00a0Jaxson Easterlin<\/a> closed the game with a solid inning of relief, surrendering just one hit and no runs.<\/p>\n The Golden Grizzlies and the Panthers will meet for game three of the series tomorrow, May 16 at Franklin Field. First pitch is scheduled for 12 p.m. ET on ESPN+.<\/p>\n How to Follow Oakland Baseball: For complete information on Oakland Baseball, follow the team on X at @OaklandBSB<\/a> and head coach Brian Nelson<\/a> at @CoachNelly11<\/a>.
