Despite an early flurry of extra-base hits, the Muhlenberg baseball team fell at Wilkes, 15-9.
The Mules (8-5) cracked five extra-base hits in the first three innings, opening up a 5-1 lead. Among the big knocks were the first career home run for senior
Seth Wasserman, a two-run blast in the second, and the sixth career home run for senior
Chris Grillo, a solo shot in the third that was his 150th career hit.
A triple by sophomore
Cameron Miller - his third three-bagger of the season - and a pair of doubles by senior
Matt Riebesell also contributed to the early barrage.Â
The Colonels (4-9) plated six runs in the bottom of the third and widened their lead by scoring in three of the next four innings.
