Little Giants Open Baseball Season With 5-1 Over Augustana

The Wabash  College baseball team got a four-hit, one-run outing from a pair of pitchers in a season-opening 5-1 win over Augustana College (IL) Friday in Memphis, Tennessee.
 
Jacob Bishop and Caleb Everson combined for the pitching gem. Bishop earned the start and worked four innings, scattering two hits and seven walks while striking out four batters. Everson got the win in his first collegiate outing. The freshman pitched five innings of relief, limiting Augustana to one run on two hits and five walks. He struck out four of the 21 batters he faced.
 
Wabash scored its first run in the second inning. Alex Washlock ripped a two-out double and came home to score one batter later on an RBI single by Benjamin Henke. Augustana tied the game with a run in the fifth inning, but Wabash responded with a three-run sixth.
 
AJ Reid opened the sixth inning with a double and moved to third base on a wild pitch. He came home to score the game-winning run on a double by Liam Patton to put the Little Giants up 2-1. Patton scored on an error by the Vikings' centerfielder. Washlock drove in the final run of the inning with a single to plate Evan Neukam after he reached base by being hit by a pitch. Kamden Earley added another run in the seventh inning with an RBI single to score Reid, who reached base on a one-out single and moved to second on a single by Patton.
 
Wabash collected eight hits in the game, led by two each from Reid, Patton, and Washlock.
 
The Little Giants continue their weekend series of games in Memphis with a nine-inning contest on Saturday versus the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire at 10:30 a.m. CT.
