OXFORD, Ohio—The Ohio baseball team (20-18, 12-11 MAC) split the doubleheader against Miami (18-25, 13-17 MAC), dropping the first game, 5-1, and winning the second, 10-9. 
 
GAME ONE
Miami struck first, scoring off a sacrifice fly in the first inning. The next inning, the Bobcats evened the score with a home run from redshirt senior Michael Richardson (Cambridge, Md.), but a passed ball in the bottom of the inning left Ohio trailing, 2-1. 
 
The RedHawks extended their lead in the third, driving in two runs with an RBI double in the third and their fifth run with a single in the sixth. 
 
Individually, fifth year Colin Kasperbauer (Sioux City, Iowa) led the team, going 2-for-2 with a double and redshirt junior Xavier Haendiges (Salem, Ind.) went 2-for-3. On the mound, senior Braxton Kelly (Ulysses, Ky.) went 4.2 innings with eight strikeouts. 
 
GAME TWO
After two scoreless innings, senior Mason Minzey (Grand Blanc, Mich.) launched the Bobcats ahead with a three-run home run to left field. The next inning, Minzey drove in redshirt freshman AJ Rasuch (Powell, Ohio) and Haendiges, giving Ohio a 5-0 lead. 
 
Fifth year Isaiah Peterson (Lincoln, Neb.) kept the momentum going in the fifth inning with a single to left field, allowing Richardson to score the Bobcats' sixth run. Miami struck in the bottom of the inning, scoring their first run off a groundout. 
 
The RedHawks evened the score in the seventh, scoring five runs with an RBI single, a fielder's choice and a two-run home run. 
 
A Peterson line out allowed redshirt freshman Nick Dolan (Pittsburgh, Pa.) to score in the eighth, giving Ohio a 7-6 lead. Graduate student Cael Baker (Gahanna, Ohio) crushed a two-run home run down the left field line in the top ninth, but the RedHawks answered with a three-run homer in the bottom of the inning, once again tying the game, 9-9. 
 
Rausch led off the 10th inning with a triple, scoring the winning run off a fly out. 
 
Individually, junior Alex Finney (Oxford, Mich.) led the way, going 3-for-4 with one run scored while Dolan went 2-for-3 with a double. On the mound, freshman Hudson Boncal (Corona, Calif.) pitched six innings, registering 11 strikeouts while giving up one run.
