The College of Wooster baseball team achieved something only three Major League Baseball franchises since 1990 are believed to be able to claim on Sunday, as the Fighting Scots scored in all nine innings of a 13-4 win over Elmhurst University in Lafayette, Indiana. Earlier in the day, Wooster beat Illinois Institute of Technology 9-5.

Per the Society for American Baseball Research and available materials on MLB.com, there are believed to be 20 games where a MLB team has scored in every inning since 1900. Only three of those instances have been by the road team – the 1923 New York Giants against the Philadelphia Phillies, the 1964 St. Louis Cardinals against the Chicago Cubs, and the 1999 Colorado Rockies against the Chicago Cubs.

Wooster (9-2) has accomplished this twice in the last nine seasons, as the Scots scored in all nine innings of a 28-2 rout of Hiram College on April 5, 2018, and now today against Elmhurst (3-4). Wooster scored twice in the third, fourth, sixth, and eighth innings, and one time in each of the other trips to the dish.

Sophomore second baseman David Guldin played hero, knocking in Wooster's ninth-inning run with an RBI single to right center. Senior catcher Colin Leslie, who doubled to right field at the inning's onset, scored on the base knock.

Guldin was at the forefront of Wooster's offense in the eighth, lacing a leadoff single to right field. He stole second and scored on sophomore center fielder Aidan Krantz's RBI double to right center that made it 11-4. First-year right fielder Matt Herlick followed with an RBI double of his own.

Wooster was in jeopardy of losing the scoring in every inning nugget in the seventh, but kept it intact when Leslie was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. Wooster had no trouble getting a run in the sixth, as sophomore third baseman Maanav Bhatt's sacrifice fly made it 8-1.

Earlier, Leslie's RBI single to center made it 1-0 in the first, Herlick doubled the lead with a RBI single to left in the second, and Leslie made it 3-0 on an RBI double in the third. Wooster's first run of the fourth came in on junior third baseman Zack Barienbrock's RBI single to center, while in the fifth, Guldin made it 7-1, scoring on a wild pitch.

While the rare feat was brewing, Wooster quieted threats from Elmhurst often with big plays on defense. In the second, first-year shortstop Noah Lindberg threw out the lead runner at third on a grounder in the hole after Elmhurst strung together consecutive singles to start the inning. Senior right-hander Jack Spring then took matters into his own hands, striking out Javier Cervantes and Colin Adams to strand a pair of Bluejays on the bases.

In the third inning, Leslie picked off his sixth base runner of the year, while in the fourth, Spring started a 1-4-3 inning-ending double play. Wooster turned in another two-for-one special to end the fifth when Lindberg took charge by stepping on second and throwing out the batter-runner at first.

Guldin had a day, finishing 5-for-6 with three RBI and two runs scored against Elmhurst. Wooster totaled 21 hits, with three from Herlick, Barienbrock, and Lindberg.

Spring is now 1-0 on the year. He logged his best outing to date with six strikeouts and just one run allowed in five innings. First-year Owen Sherrill and senior Cooper Baer combined for three innings of shutout relief, during which they struck out five and allowed just one hit.

Timothy O'Connell went 4-for-5 to account for nearly half of Elmhurst's nine hits. Landon Banaszynski (0-1) took the loss, allowing six runs on eight hits in four innings.

Earlier, Leslie broke a 5-5 tie against Illinois Tech with a sixth-inning homer. He welcomed Austin Schnurr with the blast down the left field line, one of four runs the Scots hung on the Illinois Tech (2-4) relief ace. Following the homer, Krantz stole second base and scored when Barienbrock hit an RBI single to left field. Wooster's lead grew to 9-5 when Lindberg laced an RBI double to right field.

Wooster took a 5-3 lead in the third inning. Barienbrock's double to left center knocked in Herlick, who singled to right a batter prior. Wooster loaded the bases when Lindberg was hit by a pitch and Siu singled to right. Sherrill made Illinois Tech pay, knocking a two-run single into right center that tied the game at three. Bhatt doubled two batters later, scoring Leslie and Siu to make it 5-3.

Illinois Tech took advantage of a Wooster error in the fifth to tie Sunday's opener at five. Ryan Fostiak delivered the two-run double to left. Logan Inman reached on the error and scored on the two-base knock, as did Philip Bentz, who laced a two-out single to right.

First-year right-hander Henry Rouch shut down Illinois Tech to improve to 2-0. He fired two scoreless innings of relief and struck out two. Junior right-hander Constantine Vernadakis followed and did likewise, working out of jam in the eighth with a double play ball in the process. Sophomore left-hander James MacMillan started and turned in his longest collegiate outing at five innings. He allowed five runs on five hits, but only one of the runs against him was earned.

Barienbrock was the lone Scot with a multi-hit opener. He finished 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored.

Fostiak accounted for three of Illinois Tech's six hits. He went 3-for-3 with three RBI. Schnurr (0-1) was the losing pitcher. He allowed four runs in two innings.

Wooster, winners of six straight, returns to action with a 3 p.m. home game against Allegheny College (6-4) on Wednesday, March 11.
