Junior second baseman D.J. Neff (Grove City) and freshman third baseman Noah Brazytis (Euclid/Cleveland St. Ignatius) drove in 3 runs apiece for Ohio Wesleyan, but Allegheny defeated the Bishops in the completion of the nightcap of a North Coast Athletic Conference doubleheader.

The nightcap was halted because of darkness with Allegheny holding an 18-10 lead in the top of the sixth inning on April 16 and was completed on Wednesday at The College of Wooster.

Brazytis singled home a run in the bottom of the sixth to bring Ohio Wesleyan within 18-11, but Ryan Dougherty singled in a run for the Gators in the top of the seventh, and Allegheny scored 4 times in the ninth.

Junior righthander Michael Lipscomb (Pataskala/Watkins Memorial) was the starting and losing pitcher for Ohio Wesleyan.

Joseph Raleigh was credited with the win for Allegheny.

Allegheny had taken a 4-0 lead after 2 innings, with Dougherty knocking in one run and scoring another, and Dougherty added a 2-run double during Allegheny's 7-run third.

Neff put the Bishops on the scoreboard with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the third, but the visitors answered with 7 more runs in the fourth, highlighted by Tyson Bryant-Dawson's 3-run homer.

Ohio Wesleyan rallied with 9 runs in the bottom of the fifth, with Brazytis lining a 2-run single and Neff ripping a 2-run double, and the game was called with the Gators batting in the top of the sixth.

In the opener on April 16, Allegheny's Brady Nolin and Dougherty drove in 4 runs apiece and Conor Deasy fired a 3-hit shutout to lead the Gators to the win.

Dougherty belted a 3-run homer in the second inning of the opener, and the Gators added 6 runs in the fourth with the help of a solo shot by Jacob Budnar and a 3-run blast by Nolin.

Senior righthander Gavin Pulliam (Franklin, Tenn.) was the starting and losing pitcher for Ohio Wesleyan.
