OXFORD, Ohio – The Ohio baseball team (7-26, 4-12 MAC) earned a 7-6 win at rival Miami (20-12, 10-6 MAC) on Friday, April 10, taking game one of the 'Battle of the Bricks' series. 

Ohio recorded seven runs on eight hits and without committing an error, while Miami had six runs with nine hits and committed one error.  

On the mound, freshman Mason Gass (Oakdale, Pa.) got the win, allowing three runs on six hits in five innings pitched, striking out three. Senior Dillon Masters (New Albany, Ohio) got the save, pitching four innings, allowing three runs on three hits, walked three and struck out three. 

At the plate, junior Tyler Stack (Oswego, Ill.) went 2-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored. Redshirt freshman Grant Wilson (Bradenton, Fla.) went 1-for-3 at the plate, including a home run, three RBI and one run scored. Graduate student Colton Shirley (Anderson, Ind) finished with one run on one hit and recorded one RBI. Junior Taylor Harris (Parrish, Fla.) added a hit and an RBI, while fifth-year Will Henson (Chicago, Ill.) finished with one run on one hit. 

With two players getting on base, junior Cameron Boyd (Villa Hills, Ky.) reached on a fielder's choice then stole second. Stack hit a two-RBI single to right to drive in two runs. Wilson struck a two-run home run over the left field fence for a 4-0 Ohio lead entering the bottom of the first. 

Miami scored two runs in the bottom of the second, then added one run in the bottom of the third to cut into the deficit, 4-3. 

After a scoreless fourth and fifth innings, Stack opened the top of the sixth with a double to left, then raced home on a sacrifice fly for a 5-3 lead. The Bobcats extended their lead in the top of the seventh with an RBI single from Shirley for a 6-3 advantage. 

Ohio extended its lead with an RBI single in the top of the eighth, setting the score, 7-3. Miami responded with one run of their own in the bottom of the inning to get back within three. 

The RedHawks hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth to get within one, but Masters struck out the final batter to secure the victory, 7-6.
