Lourdes rebounded from a 2-0 loss in game one on Sunday afternoon to defeat Concordia (Mich.) in the nightcap 6-2 at Cardinal Stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich.
 
A.J. Schraffenberger (Cincinnati, Ohio/Bishop Fenwick H.S.) went the distance in game two for the complete game victory (1-1), allowing just five hits without walking anyone. 
 
Garrett Jex (Bowling Green, Ohio/Bowling Green H.S.) singled home Kyle Sherman (Collierville, Tenn./Rossville H.S.) and Bill Laranga (Maumee, Ohio/Maumee H.S. in the top of the fifth to put the Gray Wolves in front.  Concordia responded immediately in the bottom half of the inning with two runs on a fielder's choice.
 
Sherman put Lourdes in front for good in the sixth with a one-out single that plated Marty Ramirez (Toledo, Ohio/Start H.S.).  The Gray Wolves added three insurance runs in the top of the seventh on a RBI ground out by Tyler Trame (Toledo, Ohio/Central Catholic H.S.) as well as an error by Concordia.
 
Ramirez went 2-for-3 while scoring twice in the win as Lourdes managed seven hits in the contest.  Ryan Bosanac suffered the loss (1-6) for the Cardinals, allowing three runs, two of which were earned, in 5.1 innings on the hill.
 
"It was a good team win in the second game," head coach Andy Ham said.  "A.J. did a great job battling.  We extended the lead and got key hits which we haven't been doing."
 
The Lourdes win snapped Concordia's (16-24, 9-11 WHAC) 10-game winning streak.
 
In the opener, Concordia scored single runs in the fifth and sixth innings which were enough for Cody Harrison to earn the complete game shutout (4-2).  He overcame six walks by surrendering just five hits in the win.
 
Drew Lepiarz (Toledo, Ohio/Start H.S.) also tossed a complete game for Lourdes, striking out nine while allowing two runs on five hits in a losing effort (2-3).
 
"Drew pitched a great game one," Ham added.  "It's too bad we couldn't get him the win."
 
Lourdes (9-24, 5-14) will return to the diamond on Wednesday afternoon, traveling to Fort Wayne, Ind. to battle Indiana Tech.  First pitch of the doubleheader is slated for 4 p.m. at Warrior Field.
