Oakland Losing Skid Hits Ten Games Following 14-4 Loss at Ohio State

Box Score Columbus, Ohio (Apr. 7, 2004)- Another big inning for the opposition shifted momentum and led to Oakland???s tenth straight loss as they faltered at Ohio State by a 14-4 score in baseball action. For the third time in five games the Golden Grizzlies surrendered close to ten runs in a single inning, giving up eight in the fourth after trailing by just a pair. Not one Oakland player was able to manage more than one hit but Ohio native Ryan Heath (Ostrander, Ohio) made the most of his with a double in the third inning that brought in two runs. Oakland is now 5-18 on the season. Heath???s double gave Oakland its only lead of the game before Ohio State responded with three runs in the bottom of the third. Brett Garrard???s single to center field drove in two runs to make it 4-2. Oakland???s defense got the first two Ohio State batters to fly out and line out to start the fourth inning before things went wrong for the Golden Grizzlies. With two gone the Buckeyes proceeded to rack up eight runs on seven hits. Garrard came through again with a double down the left field line that brought in two more runs before Cody Caughenbaugh singled to the left side to drive in another two runs. Starting pitcher Dominic Carmosino (Cincinnati, Ohio) and reliever Billy Schmieder (Chillicothe, Ohio) bared the brunt of the attack. Carmosino (1-3) allowed six earned runs on nine hits before being replaced in the fateful fourth while Schmieder entered the game two pitchers later and lasted 3.1 innings, surrendering four runs on eight hits. Oakland???s pitching staff did not strike out a single batter. Oakland took advantage of an error by Ohio State left fielder Steve Caravati to score two runs in the sixth. John Sullivan (Saginaw, Mich.) drove in Bryan DeLamielleure (Romeo, Mich.) before Tim Doig (Farmington, Mich.) came around from second as Caravati had trouble fielding the ball. The damage had already been done though and Ohio State added two more runs in the eighth to wrap up the scoring. Jesse Paciorek (1-1) struck out four batters but also walked four and allowed two runs on one hit in 3.0 innings for the win. Oakland will look to snap its losing streak when they host two games on Friday. They will face Madonna University at 12:00 p.m. before facing Rochester College immediately following the first game at 3:00 p.m.
