(ALLIANCE, OH)--Mount Union's baseball team rallied from a 7-1 deficit in game two to pull out a 9-7 win and along with an 11-2 in game one swept Baldwin-Wallace in an Ohio Athletic Conference series Wednesday at 23rd Street Field in Alliance.

The sweep evens the Purple Raiders record in OAC play at 4-4 and elevates their overall mark to 13-10, while Baldwin-Wallace falls to 7-14 overall and 2-4 in the OAC.

After a fielding error in the fifth inning led to three unearned B-W runs and Mount Union found itself down 7-1.

The Raiders rallied in bottom of fifth taking advantage of four walks, a hit batter and a B-W error in the field to plate four runs to make the score 7-5 and get back into the game.

Matt Tracy (Pittsburgh/Central Catholic) started the sixth inning with a single, his fourth hit of the game, and later scored on a Britt Williams (Massillon/Massillon Jackson) ground out to bring the score to 7-6 in the sixth inning.

The Raiders got going again in the seventh as Michael Griffith (Louisville/East Canton) opened the frame with a single before Greg Ferrell (Uniontown/Green) drove him home on a double to tie the game.  Ferrell then scored the go ahead run a single from Connor Nell (Powell/Olentangy).

Bobby Huth (Massillon/Massillon Washington) drove in Williams for an insurance run in the eighth inning.

Beau Smith (Fredrick, MD/Fredrick) allowed just two hits in 3.1 innings of relief work to pick up his third win of the season, Cody Colly (Massillon/Massillon Washington) worked the ninth for his first save of the season.  Matt Lambert (Massillon/Massillon Washington) started the game and surrendered seven runs (three earned) over 4.2 innings.

In the opener, Paul Mariotti (Copley/Copley) scattered seven hits over six innings to lead Mount Union to an 11-2 win.  Mariotti, who started the season coming back from off-season arm surgery, is now 3-0 with a save in his last four starts.

Mount Union pounded out 15 hits and scored runs in four of its six at-bats.  The Raiders blew the game open with a six-run sixth inning with a big hit coming in the form of a three-run home run from Ferrell.

It was his team-leading seventh homer of the year, while Williams, Griffith and Huth each drove in two runs to lead Mount Union at the plate.

Mount Union now starts a six-game road swing that includes OAC doubleheaders Saturday at 1 pm at Otterbein and next Wednesday at John Carroll (1 pm) in between a non-conference doubleheader at LaRoche (PA) Sunday at 1 pm in Pittsburgh, PA.
