The UW-Oshkosh baseball team took advantage of six UW-Stout errors and overcame a five-run deficit in the nightcap as the Titans and Blue Devils split a doubleheader in Menomonie on Saturday (Aprill 25).

UW-Oshkosh defeated UW-Stout, 10-5, in the second game after the Blue Devils won the first contest, 5-2.

In the nightcap, UW-Stout took a 5-0 lead on consecutive two-out, two-run hits in the fourth inning. Jack Schneider doubled home two Blue Devils, and Nick Nalbach followed with a two-run single to chase UW-Oshkosh starting pitcher Matt Sabel.

The Titans responded by taking their first lead of the day with seven unearned runs on six consecutive two-out hits and four errors in the top of the fifth frame.

With a runner on first and two outs, UW-Stout committed its first error of the game, and John Eagan's single brought home the first Titan run of the game. An RBI single by Luke Gajewski was followed by a two-run double by Tyler Kozlowski and a run-scoring single by Andy Brahier.  Logan Reckert's RBI double gave UW-Oshkosh the lead, and Jack Paulson's run-scoring single increased the Titan advantage to 7-5.

UW-Oshkosh added three insurance runs in the eighth inning on four straight hits and two errors.

Jacob Pohlman relieved Sabel in the fourth inning and provided 3.1 scoreless innings. Pohlman (2-1), who extended his season scoreless streak to nine innings, allowed two hits and two walks to earn the win.

UW-Oshkosh closed with 3-2 in the fifth inning on an RBI groundout by Eagan and a sacrifice fly by Gajewski, but UW-Stout added one run in both the seventh and eighth innings.
