WAYNE BASEBALL: IN SEASON

In game 2 Varsity was up 5-2 through 5 innings but Heritage rallied scoring 2 in the sixth and seventh to get the sweep. Hyuck took the mound once again but this time at home versus SAC top dog Northrop. He was on his game again striking out 11 and allowing 1 run in another complete game performance. Going into the bottom of the sixth Wayne was leading 2-1 the team went on to explode for 7 runs; they won this game 9-1. The next night Northrop returned the favor taking down Wayne 13-3 in 5 innings. So far Varsity is 2-3.
