Game 2 Box Score

OWENSBORO, Ky. - Lewis got good pitching in Sunday's Great Lakes Valley Conference doubleheader at Kentucky Wesleyan, but defensive lapses hurt the Flyers in a 3-2, 8-1 twinbill loss to the Panthers.

Joe Walsh (1-8) struck out six and allowed just three hits and two walks in the 7-inning opener. All three Kentucky Wesleyan runs were unearned and came in the fourth inning.

Lewis took a 1-0 lead in the second. Victor Naut singled, advanced to third on Andy Radak's sacrifice and Dave Tolchin's ground ball and scored on Jim Gabriel's single.

In the seventh, the Flyers scored a run and put the tying and go-ahead runs at second and third with one out. Radak led off with a single and reached third on a wild pitch and Tolchin's ground ball. Gabriel drove home Radak with a ground ball and reached on a throwing error. After Jon Guzzo walked, he and pinch runner Sam Sacco moved up on a wild pitch but were stranded to end the game.

Brandon Niewinski was 2-for-3 in the opener.

In the nightcap, Kentucky Wesleyan (24-25, 20-16) scored two runs in the first and five in the second off Flyer starter David Scheibe (2-3), but only one run was earned. Tim Harmatys tossed 5 1/3 innings of scoreless relief, yielding just two hits and three walks while fanning five.

Radak was 3-for-4 and Mike Smith was 2-for-4 to lead the hitting attack for Lewis (9-39, 7-27). The Flyers scored in the fifth when Brian Clancy led off with a single, went to second on a passed ball and scored on Smith's two-out single.

The Flyers travel to Indianapolis for a GLVC doubleheader on Wednesday, then conclude the season at home Saturday and Sunday with GLVC doubleheaders against Quincy.
