Sewanee splits weekend with 16-6 win over DePauw on Sunday

SEWANEE, Tenn. – Zach Fortman had a standout performance in his first start, going 3-for-3 with a single, double, triple, four RBIs, and four runs scored as Sewanee powered past DePauw, 16-6, to split the weekend series.

Will Jennewein contributed three runs and two RBIs, finishing 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and two walks, while Charlie Teel went 3-for-3 with an RBI and two walks.

Jack Merril overcame a shaky start, walking the first batter, hitting another, and giving up two singles and two runs before striking out the final two batters to escape the inning. He rebounded to strike out four in a row and finished with six strikeouts over 3.2 innings. Ben Weiser earned the win, pitching 2.2 innings with two strikeouts, three groundouts, and two flyouts.

Ethan Williams tallied Sewanee's second hit of the game with a single to left center, setting up Jennewein's two-run homer to right field in the fourth, tying the game at 2-2.

The Tigers exploded for five runs on five hits in the fifth. Jennewein's single put runners on the corners, and Pinson followed with an RBI single to left. After a popout, Bagwell added an RBI single up the middle. Fortman then cleared the bases with a three-RBI triple down the left field line, scoring Bagwell, Pinson, and Jennewein. A sacrifice fly from Sebastian Leinberger brought Fortman home, capping the inning with Sewanee leading 9-2.

Jonah Patton added an RBI in the sixth, and Fortman scored on a wild pitch after doubling to short right field.

DePauw fought back with four runs in the eighth, but Sewanee responded with five to close out the game early. After two walks, Bagwell singled to score Jennewein. Fortman was hit by a pitch, loading the bases, and Leinberger followed with a three-RBI double down the right field line, advancing to third on a fielding error. Teel's single to left brought home Leinberger, sealing the 16th run and ending the game.

Sewanee now turns its attention to conference play, heading to Hendrix for a single game Friday followed by a Saturday doubleheader. The Tigers will then travel to Pensacola, Fla., for six games over spring break.
