Baseball Drops a Pair at Cornerstone Saturday

Lourdes built early leads in both games of Saturday's doubleheader at Cornerstone, but the Golden Eagles rallied twice to sweep the twinbill from the Gray Wolves 11-10 and 13-9 at DeWitt Stadium in Grand Rapids, Mich.
 
Harrison Jackson (South Haven, Mich./South Haven H.S.) put the Gray Wolves on top in the opening inning of game one, clearing the bases with a double to left center.  After the Golden Eagles answered with three in the bottom of the inning, Noah Childress (Toledo, Ohio/Start H.S.) put Lourdes back in front with a two-run double in the second.
 
A Joey Oehlers (Lambertville, Mich./Bedford H.S.) RBI single in the third pushed the lead to 6-3, only for Cornerstone to respond in the bottom of the third with three runs of their own.  Jackson hit a sacrifice fly in the fourth while the Golden Eagles again tied the game 7-7 with a tally in the fifth.
 
Lourdes plated single runs in the seventh, eighth, and ninth to build a 10-7 advantage heading to the bottom of the ninth.  Jay Denman (Toledo, Ohio/Saint Francis de Sales H.S.) singled home a run in the seventh, Childress homered an inning later, and Denman added another RBI single, his fourth hit of the game, to plate an unearned run in the ninth.
 
Cornerstone rallied in the bottom of the ninth.  The Golden Eagles scored four times on four straight two-out hits, the game-winner coming from Landon Poll.
 
In addition to Denman's four hits, Childress had three as part of a 17-hit attack for the Gray Wolves.  Cornerstone banged out 21 hits of their own, including a 5-for-6 effort from Jordan Wenzel.
 
The Gray Wolves again jumped out to a big lead in game two.  Devin Rooks (Toledo, Ohio/Whitmer H.S.) plated the first run with a RBI single while Jackson followed with a two-run double in the opening inning.  After Cornerstone responded with a pair in the bottom of the first, Lourdes scored five times in the second to extend the lead to 8-2.  Childress singled home a run and Brad Ammons (Holland, Ohio/Springfield H.S.) drew a bases loaded walk.  Rooks singled home two more and Jackson added a sacrifice fly to increase the lead to six.
 
A Childress sacrifice fly in the fifth gave Lourdes a 9-4 lead, but that would be the final run the Gray Wolves would score on the afternoon.  Cornerstone (10-6, 5-1 WHAC) sent 13 batters to the plate in the sixth, scoring seven times, and added two more runs in the eighth to complete the comeback victory.
 
The Golden Eagles had 16 hits in game two, while Lourdes had 12 hits.  Denman registered four doubles in the game while Rooks had three hits.
 
Lourdes (10-14, 3-5) returns home for 10 straight games beginning on Tuesday as the Gray Wolves welcome Goshen to Mercy Field.  First pitch in game one of the doubleheader is set for 2 p.m.
