The Wabash baseball team dropped both games of its 2015 home opener Wednesday night versus Indiana Tech. The Warriors won 6-0 in game one before outdueling the Little Giants in a 14-11 slugfest in game two.

"Offensively in that first game, we just didn't get anything going," Head Coach Cory Stevens said. "I thought we had a better approach in game two. We talked to our guys about it between games and they did a good job adjusting."

Warriors pitcher Jason Sterrett shut down the Little Giants in game one. Wabash only tallied four hits off the lefty through five innings.

Alan Corey took the game one loss for Wabash. Indiana Tech jumped on him early scoring two in the first and three in the second. Romer Portes provided the bulk of run support for the Warriors. He drove in three on 2-of-3 hitting with a walk.

Wabash bats awakened in the second game. The Little Giants used a six-run second inning --- capped by a Clint Scarborough home run --- to build an early 6-1 lead. The deep shot to left was Scarborough's third home run this season.  

Austin Hawn took the mound for the game-two start and completed five solid innings of work, allowing four runs on eight hits with two strikeouts. Hawn left with a 10-4 lead but a nine-run Warrior outburst in the top of the sixth left Hawn with a no decision.

"Hawn had a great start for us and I thought he threw extremely well, but you just can't give up big innings," Stevens said. "Obviously that nine-run inning was a killer. We didn't make some plays in the field so I wouldn't blame it all on our pitching, but you just can't give up the big inning and that's what we did in the second game."

Relievers William Kelly and Christian Vukas struggled in that inning. Kelly allowed six earned runs while Vukas gave up three.

"William and Christian had a couple of tough breaks," Stevens said. "William gave up a couple of bloops that land in right field which got runners on base, and there were some outs that we could've made but didn't convert."

Scarborough finished game two with three RBI going 2-for-4 with a walk. Cole Harlacher started at second base and drove in two runs as did first baseman David Oliger. Lucas Stippler and Matt Spaulding each registered four hits in game two.

Wabash will return to action Saturday at 11 a.m. against Cleary University at Chatard High School followed by a 3 p.m. game against Butler University. The Little Giants will return home Sunday for a double header against Millikin University beginning at 12 p.m.
