Baseball Drops Opener to Wofford, 4-2

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The University of Pennsylvania baseball team dropped the opening game of their nine-game road trip through South Carolina Friday night, falling 4-2 to Wofford.

Wofford delivered the biggest hit of the game in the first inning. With two on and one out, Ryan Galanie hit a three-run homer to right field off Penn starter Kevin Eaise, the first four-bagger allowed by the Penn staff this season.
 
The Quakers got one of the runs back in the fourth. After Jackson Appel led off with a walk, reigning Ivy League Player of the Week Wyatt Henseler singled him into scoring position, and Andrew Hernandez drove him in with a base hit to left field.

With Eaise settling in, Henseler cut the deficit in half in the top of the sixth, launching a solo shot to right-center. After Eaise retired 15 of 19 between batters the first and sixth innings, Wofford finally pushed another run across in the seventh, following a lead off triple and RBI single.

After Eaise gave way to reigning Ivy League Pitcher of the Week Owen Coady, the Terriers threatened to break the game open with two runners in scoring position, but Coady got out of the jam with a strikeout.
 
A leadoff single from Hernandez in the ninth brought the tying run to the plate, but Dalton Rhadans closed out the game to earn the save for Wofford.
 
The teams continue the four-game series tomorrow with a doubleheader starting at 2:00 p.m.

NOTES
*The Terriers entered Friday averaging more than seven walks a contest, but the Quakers' Eaise, Coady, and Edward Sarti yielded just one during the game.
 
*Coady extended his consecutive scoreless innings streak to 12.2, dating back to 2021.

*Tommy Courtney doubled in the fifth inning, extending his hitting streak to 15 games, dating back to 2021.

*After going homerless in his first 58 at-bats as a Quaker, Henseler has now hit two in his last eight, following his solo shot against Texas A&M in Game 2 of last Sunday's doubleheader.
