VERONA, Wis. – Baseball hosted a double feature at Stampfl Field Thursday. They hosted the Concordia Wisconsin Falcons for Veteran's Appreciation Day and Resident's Hall Night. The Eagles (15-11, 9-5 NACC) run ruled the Falcons (15-15, 11-5) 16-3 in game one, but Concordia Wisconsin struck back with an 8-3 final in game two.
GAME ONE: EDGEWOOD UNIVERSITY 16, CONCORDIA WISCONSIN 3
- A four run first sparked things for the Eagles, with
Mac Vesperman and
Carter Kelley posting RBI singles before

Aidan Kammer RBI double.
- The Falcons tacked on a pair in the third, but a five-run fifth and sixth would all but close the book on the game. A bases loaded walk from
Kyle Prindle would start the action in the fifth, before
Charlie Tompach cleared the bases with a triple down the right field line and
Hayden Hellenbrand brought home Tompach with a single through the left side.
-
