Â
Canter opened the fifth inning with a double to left, then scored on a
David Oliger single for another run for Wabash. The Little Giants tacked on another in the seventh with an RBI from
Andrew Rodgers on a fielder's choice.
Â
Wabash rallied for three runs in the eighth, starting with a
Jeff Samuel double to left. After a
Tanner Watson walk,
Clint Scarborough launched his fifth home run of the season and ninth of his career to plate three runs for the Little Giants. Wabash scored four in the ninth off an RBI single by
Tyler Owensby along with three unearned runs on a pair of Wooster errors.
Â
The Little Giants finished with 15 hits, led by
Lucas Stippler,
Tyler Hampton, Oliger, Samuel, and Canter with two apiece. Scarborough's three RBI paced the Little Giants in their season finale.
Â
