Titans End Florida Trip Unbeaten

Andy Brahier had four hits, four runs and five runs batted in to lead the UW-Oshkosh baseball team to a 13-5 victory over Kalamazoo College (Mich.) on Thursday (March 26) in Winter Haven, Fla.

Brahier, who doubled twice and homered against Kalamazoo College, has reached base in 10 of his last 11 plate appearances.

The Titans (7-4) concluded their Florida trip with a 7-0 record and have won 33 of their last 37 games in the Sunshine State.

UW-Oshkosh jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the top of the first inning and was never threatened.

The Titans chased Kalamazoo College starting pitcher Andrew Eaton before he could record an out in the first inning. John Eagan and Logan Reckert both walked to lead off the game, and Robbie Kleman and Brahier followed with run-scoring hits before Eaton departed.

Tyler Kozlowski greeted Hornet relief pitcher Joe Giacalone with a double that scored Brahier. Ian Czarneski capped the five-run first inning with a run-scoring groundout.

UW-Oshkosh starting pitcher Peter Jewell retired 13 of 14 batters to begin the game and concluded his dominant outing with seven strikeouts in six innings. He upped his record to 2-0 on the season by allowing one run on five hits and one walk.

Brahier led off the third inning with his first home run of the season to push the Titans' advantage to 6-0, while his run-scoring single in the seventh gave UW-Oshkosh a 7-1 lead. Brahier ended his day 4-for-5 at the plate with a two-run double in the ninth.

Brahier's last hit sparked a five-run ninth inning for the Titans that also included a run-scoring single by Kozlowski and a two-run single by pinch hitter Luke Gajewski.

Kalamazoo College (7-5) tallied three runs without a hit in the ninth inning.

Eagan and Kozlowski contributed three hits apiece to the Titans' 16-hit attack. Eagan had three of UW-Oshkosh's four stolen bases while Kozlowski added two runs and two runs batted in.

Kleman chipped in two hits, two runs and one run batted in for the Titans.

Joey Aliotta and David Kracht both had two of Kalamazoo College's six hits, which were all singles.

UW-Oshkosh puts its seven-game winning streak on the line against Concordia University Wisconsin on Tuesday (March 31) in Mequon.
