Clouse Walks it Off as Baseball Claims the Autotmatic Bid to Regionals with Another MIAA Tournament Championship

ADRIAN, Mich. – The Adrian College baseball team is headed back to the NCAA Regionals after sweeping Kalamazoo College in a doubleheader to secure the MIAA's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Game 1 Recap: Adrian 9, Kalamazoo 0

  • Adrian struck early, as Easton Rogers delivered a two-run single up the middle in the top of the first.

  • In the fifth, Nic Bruder doubled to left to drive in Rolando Jimenez, extending the lead to 3-0.

  • The Bulldogs tacked on three more runs in the eighth with RBIs from Jake Burns, Jack Boike, and Philip Vilardo.

  • The ninth inning saw Adrian add three insurance runs: Ryan Davis doubled in a run, scored on a wild pitch, and Burns singled in another to seal the 9-0 victory.

  • Bruder led the offense with three hits, while Rogers and Burns each recorded two.

  • Kalamazoo mounted a comeback, scoring four in the fifth, one in the sixth, and another in the eighth to tie the game and force extras.

  • A solo home run in the top of the 10th gave Kalamazoo a 7-6 lead, but Adrian answered with a bases-loaded walk to David Kedrow to tie it.
