Ryan Yates grabbed his first career win as Asbury baseball (9-11) dropped game one and responded to take game two against Oberlin College (9-7) in Lexington, Ky., at the Lexington Legends Field.
The Asbury offense combined for 19 hits and 19 runs on the day, slipping to Oberlin in game one (7-9), but taking a convincing game two win on the day (12-2). Oberlin's one win on the day gave the Yoeman the series as the took the inital game of the series on Saturday afternoon.
"We got one of two, we always want to win a weekend series, but we were able to resist a sweep in game three. We're hoping to take the game three momentum onto the game with Berea in the midweek. We're not satisfied with where we are at but we're looking to continue to get where we want to be."
