Baseball Wins in Extra Innings to Earn DH Split
Jake Rickenbach’s 11th-inning RBI double gave Utah Valley its first lead and first win of the season as the Wolverines (1-2) earned a doubleheader split with a 6-5 win at Portland on Saturday. The Pilots (2-1) won the opening game of the twinbill, 7-2, earlier in the day.
Rickenbach doubled home Kevin Arendse, who pinch ran after Sage Thorpe’s infield single, with one out in the 11th for the game-winning run.
Jory Jensen, who pitched 2.2 scoreless innings, got the win after getting pinch hitter Beau Fraser to fly out to center to end the game with two runners aboard.
