ATHENS, OHIO—The Ohio bobcats baseball team (3-18, 1-5 MAC) dropped the third and final game of their weekend series against the Western Michigan Broncos (9-9, 5-1) on Sunday afternoon.

Ohio finished with seven runs on 10 hits with one error, while Western Michigan finished with 16 runs on 18 hits and one error.

Offensively, senior utilityman Cale Steinbaugh (Georgetown, Ill.) powered the Bobcats, continuing a strong weekend at the plate by going 3-for-4 with a two RBI single in the second inning.

On the hill, junior right hander AJ Dallmayer (Washington Court House, Ohio) went three innings, allowing five runs. Five other Bobcats would take the mound in the game.

The Bronco offense put a run on the board in the first inning, but the Bobcats were able to answer with a run of their own in the bottom half of the inning to tie the game.

The Bobcats took the lead in the second inning, when Steinbaugh stepped to the plate and lined a single to left field, scoring junior outfielder Tyler Stack (Oswego, Ill.) and senior infielder Reese Harmon (Columbus, Ind.).

The Bronco bats were overwhelming through the middle innings, scoring four, five, and three runs each in the third through fifth innings.

Ohio would bounce back in the bottom of the sixth when fifth year infielder Will Henson (Chicago, Ill.) stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and hit a double to right center field, scoring all three Bobcat baserunners.

Western Michigan would add a run in the seventh and two more in the ninth, for a final score of 16-7.

The Bobcats will return to action for a midweek tilt at Morehead State on Wednesday, March 18. First pitch it set for 3 p.m., and the game can be viewed on ESPN+.
