Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 RICHMOND, Ind. -- The Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology baseball team swept conference foe Earlham College in Richmond today 3-2 and 6-5. Rose-Hulman improved to 16-10 on the season and Earlham fell to 16-13.

With the two wins today, Rose-Hulman secured a five-game win streak entering this week. The Fightin' Engineers jumped in the HCAC leaderboard to tie Franklin College for second place. 

GAME ONE
Rose-Hulman completed the come-from-behind win in game one. Held scoreless through eight innings, the Fightin' Engineers managed to find two runners aboard with Logan Cody at the plate trailing 2-0 with two outs in the ninth.

On the first pitch he saw, Cody blasted a three-run home run over the right-field fence to take the lead 3-2. Rose-Hulman managed to strand two Quaker runners at the corners in the bottom half of the ninth to secure the win. Cody's homer was his third of the season.

Cody finished 2-for-4 with three RBI's and a home run in game one. Brett Tuttle, Andy Krajecki, and AJ Ernst all recorded one hit each.

The pitching duo of Matthew Rouse and Ian Kline combined for seven innings pitched and two earned runs. Korey Marlow pitched up his first collegiate pitching win, while Schuyler Wilcox earned his third save of the season.

GAME TWO
The Fightin' Engineers wasted no time scoring runs in game two, plating five runs in the top half of the first inning. Harris Camp, Manuel Lopez, and Cody each singled to open the game, and all three later scored. Luke Calabrese highlighted the inning with a three-RBI double to left-center field.

Rose-Hulman took a 6-5 lead into the bottom half of the ninth. Earlham threatened when the leadoff batter reached safely, but Alex Gavrilovich threw out the runner trying to steal second. A couple pitches later, the next Quaker batter doubled. Adam Taylor entered on the hill for the pitching relief and struck out an Earlham batter for out number two, then forced a groundout to win the game.

Calabrese finished 2-for-4 with three RBI's in game two. Josh Mesenbrink finished 2-for-3 with two runs scored, and Cody tacked on two hits. 

Jacob Petrisko pitched six innings with five strikeouts and one earned run, collecting his fourth win on the season. Taylor earned his first save on the season, the fifth of his career.
