ADRIAN, Mich. – The Adrian College baseball team hosted Wittenberg University on Sunday afternoon in a non-conference contest. The Bulldogs swept a doubleheader against Wittenberg earlier in the season on the road, before completing the three-game sweep on Sunday. Adrian came out ahead, 7-1.
HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Bulldogs added another run in the sixth inning on an RBI single from Nic Bruder to lead 3-1.
• In the eighth, Adrian added four runs to pull ahead 7-1. Joe Casale drove in a run on a double before scoring on a triple from Bruder. Rolando Jimenez reached third base on an error by the right fielder which allowed two more Adrian runs to come across the plate.
• The Bulldogs pitched by committee on Sunday where seven pitchers entered the game.
