Sean Roginski collected two hits in Sunday's doubleheader against DePauw to tie Chris Deig for the all-time hits record in Wabash baseball history. The Little Giants split the two games, winning game one 5-4 before losing a five-hour marathon contest 12-7 in 16 innings in game two.
 
Roginski and his fellow senior members of the 2019 Wabash team Nick Chao, Eric Chavez, Chase Clarkson, Joe House, Erich Lange, Kevin O'Donnell, Jared Wolfe, and student manager Griffin Smith were honored prior to start of game one. Roginski picked up one hit in the first game before equaling the mark of 206 career sets originally set by Deig over four seasons from 2009 to 2012. Roginski's first single came in game one, driving in a run in the seventh inning on a ball down the right field line to drive in Austin Simmers with the go-ahead run to give the Little Giants the one-run victory.
 
Wabash (20-16, 8-7 NCAC) scored three runs in the first inning. Matthew Annee drove in the first run with a single to left field. The Little Giants added another run on a ground ball to short before Canton Terry drove in the third run of the inning with a single to left.
 
DePauw (22-13, 8-6 NCAC) cut the lead to 3-2 with a pair of runs in the fourth. Jackson Blevins pushed the lead to 4-2 when he blasted a solo home run to right in the fifth inning. The visiting Tigers evened the score in the top of the sixth inning before Roginski delivered the game-winning run in the seventh.
 
Logan Butrum earned the win in relief of Kase Lawson. Butrum pitched 1-2/3 innings and allowed only two hits. He struck out one batter. Zach Moffett earned his fourth save of the season by pitching the final two innings for Wabash, retiring all six batters he faced.
 
DePauw scored four runs in the first inning of game two before a two-run double by Lange in the bottom of the first cut the lead in half. The Little Giants tied the score at 4-4 in the second inning on an RBI single by Wolfe and an RBI single by Roginski for his record-tying hit. Wabash added three more runs in the bottom of the third after DePauw scored one run in the top half of the inning. Chavez drove in two runs with his double down the left field line. Wolfe added the third run with another double, this one to right field to push the Wabash lead to 7-5.
 
DePauw scored a run in the fifth inning before tying the game at 7-7 in the seventh. The two teams went scoreless over the next eight innings before the Tigers scored five runs in the top of the 16^th inning on an RBI single and a grand slam home run by Kyle Callahan.
 
The Little Giants were held scoreless over the final 13 innings, stranding 17 base runners. DePauw left 18 runners on base. The two teams combined for 35 hits in the contest.
 
O'Donnell took the loss for Wabash, giving up two unearned runs after pitching four scoreless innings of relief. The senior righthander faced a bases-loaded, no-out situation in the 15^th inning but got two outs at the plate on ground balls on the infield, then got a fly out to end the inning without allowing a run.
 
Wolfe led the Wabash hitters with three of the 12 hits for the Little Giants in game two.
 
The two-game split puts Wabash in fifth place in the North Coast Athletic Conference standings with one week remaining in the regular season schedule. The Little Giants are a half-game behind Allegheny and full game back of DePauw. The top-four teams in the final conference standings will compete in the annual NCAC Baseball Tournament held in Chillicothe, Ohio.
 
Wabash will play a doubleheader at Denison University on Wednesday afternoon before closing out the regular season on Sunday with the continuation of its second game versus Allegheny from earlier in the season.
