TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- The Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology baseball team split the Saturday home doubleheader against Manchester University. Rose-Hulman moved to 19-11 on the season while Manchester moved to 16-17.

Rose-Hulman struck first in the 13-3 game one victory, initiated by a Logan Cody home run to right field in the second inning. The homer was his fourth of this season. By the end of the third inning, the Fightin' Engineers led 7-0. The game ended on an Manchester error off the bat of Harris Camp, allowing the game ending run on the 10-run rule to be scored by Colter Couillard-Rodak. 

Four career-highs were set in game one of the doubleheader. Several Fightin' Engineers also recorded multi-hit games. Luke Kluemper finished 3-for-4 with a career-high four RBIs. Adam Taylor, Brett Tuttle, Josh Mesenbrink, and Alex Gavrilovich each tallied two hits, and Gavrilovich batted in a career-high three runs. Mesenbrink scored four times, the most in a game of his career.
