Wofford Baseball Dominates Queens in a 20-1 Run-Rule Win

SPARTANBURG, S.C. –The Wofford baseball team dominated Queens University 20-1 in seven innings on Tuesday night at Russell C. King Field. The Terriers (30-11, 8-1) scored an astonishing 13 runs in the second inning to close the door on the Royals (12-28) early before scoring seven more runs to secure their second-straight 20-run win.

Sheldon Egger got the midweek mound start for the Terriers. Egger (2-1) pitched 3.2 innings, giving up three hits and one run, while striking out five batters. Cole Draper, Corben Childers, and Davis Rivers followed in relief and did not allow a hit across 3.1 innings pitched. Childers struck out two batters in one inning. Many Terriers had their share of contributions at the plate, but Ben Timblin led Wofford with two runs on two hits, including a three-run home run. Niko Brini followed with one run on two hits with three RBI.

The ball game started with a scoreless first inning before the Terriers came back into the second inning to score the second-most runs in one inning in program history. A leadoff triple by Ben Timblin was followed by a wild pitch to put the first run on the board. Two walks followed before a sacrifice fly by Tanner Hardin drove home Marc Quarrie for a 2-0 ball game. After Lucas Manning was walked, a series of hits and runs followed to push the Wofford lead to 6-0 over the Royals with one out. Ben Timblin, with his second at bat of the inning, hit a home run deep out of center field to drive home Logan Tribble and Niko Brini for a 9-0 score. With two outs, Lucas Manning hit a triple to centerfield to drive home two runs. Singles by Cade Collins and Niko Brini followed to plate two more runs to bring the inning to a 13-0 score before a ground ball ended the frame. 

The Terriers retired Queens in a quick three-up, three-down inning. The bottom half of the third inning saw two walks and a hit by pitch to load the bases. With one out, Raul Feliz became the third walk of the inning to bring the ball game to 14-0. Alex Myers hit a sacrifice fly to left field to drive home Keeton Burroughs for a 15-0 score. The Terriers would leave the bases loaded. Queens saw their first run of the night with two outs on an RBI double to left field to cut the Terriers' lead 15-1. The Royals gave the Terriers their first 1-2-3 inning of the game to end the fifth.

Queens had one hit in the fifth as the Terriers came into their bottom half to score five more runs on two hits. A single by Raul Feliz drove in a run before a single and sacrifice fly boosted the Terriers to an 18-1 lead. A passed ball and a wild pitch allowed Jack Euart and Alex Myers to score, giving Wofford a 20-1 lead over the Royals. Neither team saw a hit in the sixth inning before Queens came back in the seventh with a fielder's choice and a walk to put two runners on base for the Royals. A double play ended the game.
