Ohio Wesleyan 10, Rhode Island College 6

Fifth-year shortstop D.J. Neff (Grove City) drove in 4 runs and took part in 3 of Ohio Wesleyan's school-record-setting 5 double plays as the Bishops defeated Rhode Island College on Monday in Fort Myers, Fla.

The 5 double plays turned by the Bishops tied the North Coast Athletic Conference record accomplished 5 times previously, most recently in 2021, and broke the school record of 4 accomplished 8 times previously, most recently against Bridgewater State on March 9, 2020.  Junior second baseman Noah Brazytis (Euclid/Cleveland St. Ignatius) and sophomore first baseman Zane Vitense (Maple Grove, Minn.) took part in all 5 double plays, with Brazytis serving as the pivot on 4 of them and starting the fifth, and all 5 ending with Vitense.

Sophomore righthander Hank Holman (Twinsburg) was the beneficiary of the first 4 twin killings, getting inning-ending double plays during the first, fourth, and fifth frames.  Holman allowed one unearned run during his 5.0 innings of work on the way to recording the win.

Ohio Wesleyan took a 2-0 lead in the first on a sacrifice fly by junior second baseman Ryan Duckworth (Hilliard/Bradley) and an RBI single by senior outfielder Edrick Padilla (Salinas, P.R./Perkiomen (Pa.) School).

The Anchormen closed to within 2-1 on an RBI single by Parker Camelo, but the Bishops answered with RBI singles by Padilla and freshman third baseman Luke Johnson (Cincinnati/Batavia West Clermont) during a 3-run third, got an RBI double from Neff and a sacrifice fly by Padilla in the fourth, and a 3-run homer by Neff in the fifth to increase the lead to 10-1.

Neff went 4-for-5 with 4 runs scored and 4 RBI, Padilla was 3-for-4 with 3 RBI, and junior outfielder Sammy Stoner (Dublin/Jerome) went 3-for-5.
