Game One Box Score

RENSSELAER, Ind. (Apr. 2, 2016)-- A 10-run scoring binge over the final two innings wasn't enough for the University of Wisconsin-Parkside baseball team to come away with the win on Saturday at Gil Hodges Field, falling 13-10 to Great Lakes Valley Conference rival Saint Joseph's College.
 
Game two of the doubleheader was scuttled in the bottom of the first inning due to snow. The game will be resumed on Sunday at 12 p.m. with game four of the series bumped to Monday.
 
The visiting Rangers (4-16, 0-5 GLVC) outhit the Pumas (13-13, 2-3 GLVC) by a 14-11 margin but were unable to overcome a quick start from Saint Joseph's. SJC pushed across six runs in the bottom of the second while piling on three more in both the fourth and sixth innings to seize a 12-0 lead.
 
UW-Parkside came alive in the eighth inning, scoring seven runs to crawl back into the contest. Jake Kolasinski drove in the frame's first run on a single to left field while Nick Janssen and Bobby Neylon both plated runs by drawing bases loaded walks. Juan Bowers and Lovell Chandler both singled in a pair of scores before a strikeout ended the seven-run outburst.
 
The Pumas countered with a single run in the bottom of the eighth before the Rangers added three more in the ninth and had the tying run at the plate before a groundout preserved the win for Saint Joe's. Kyohei Makita touched home for the Green and White's first run of the ninth before consecutive SJC fielding errors allowed both DJ Peltz and Neylon to score.
 
Chandler, Makita, Kolasinski, Peltz, and Bowers all finished with a pair of hits in the high-scoring affair. Nate Stolte suffered the loss striking out two in 2 1/3 innings of work while Matt Skarzynski fanned eight in 4 2/3 innings of long relief. SJC's Zachary Aring tallied the win, striking out seven in six innings of scoreless work.
