Musketeers extend program-best win streak with 6-2 win over Raiders at Cincinnati
CINCINNATI - Xavier baseball added to its program-best win streak, and secured the Joe Nuxhall Classic Championship for a second-straight year, with a 6-2 win over Wright State at UC Baseball Stadium on Tuesday afternoon. Xavier moves to 21-12 overall with an NCAA DI-best 11th-straight win.
Wright State took a one-run lead on a solo home run to lead off the game, taking the lead into the bottom of the third where Xavier scored a pair, with Andrew Walker driving in Luke Hammond, then coming home on a double from Tyler DeMartino.
The Musketeers added three more runs in the sixth, with Connor Misch hitting an two-RBI single to bring in Carter Hendrickson and Matt McCormick, and Jared Cushing scoring on a wild pitch.
The Raiders cut into the Xavier lead in the seventh with a run, but Xavier took the 5-2 advantage into the eighth where Xavier added a run on solo homer from Jack Housinger, setting the final score at 6-2.
The Musketeers returns to Hayden Field this weekend, hosting No. 20 UConn for a three-game series, set to begin on Friday at 3:00 p.m. and run through Sunday.
