Baseball Roundup: Red-hot Waterloo sweeps weekend
HAMILTON, Ont. - Recapping the weekend baseball action from around the OUA.
Sept. 15 - Queen's @ McMaster
Jake Roberts pitched six quality innings, giving up one earned run on three hits, as the Marauder baseball team picked up a 6-4 win in the second half of a doubleheader against the Queen's Gaels on Sunday. The victory was McMaster's first of the OUA season.
The Marauders opened the scoring in the second inning, when third baseman Chris Novachis singled to left field to drive in Jake Chiaravalle from second. Travis Gibson kicked off a productive day at the plate, one that saw him go three-for-three, by following Novachis' base knock with a double to bring the third baseman home and extend McMaster's lead.
Queen's took advantage of an infield error to score in the fourth inning, but McMaster quickly responded with a two-run fifth to extend its lead to 4-1. A Mike Telford double and Mike Campagnolo single each yielded a run in the sixth, as the gap widened to five runs.
Roberts was replaced by Mike Westlake after hitting a batter to open the seventh, and that runner would come around to score as the Gaels put up three runs in the final inning. But their comeback bid was snuffed out when Ryan Abraham grounded out to end the game.
Queen's won the first game of the doubleheader 17-3.
McMaster returns to action at Bernie Arbour Stadium on Tuesday, Sept. 17, when the Marauders play host to the Ryerson Rams (1-7). First pitch is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.

Sept. 14 - Queen's @ Laurier
WATERLOO, Ont. (September 16, 2013) - The Wilfrid Laurier men's baseball team handled both games against the Queen's Gaels with ease on Saturday outscoring their opponent 15-1 in the double header.
In game one Jordan Petruska proved why he is the ace of the Laurier starting staff, firing a complete game shutout with nine strikeouts and no walks while allowing only three hits. The Golden Hawks began the game with four straight hits which led to a bat-around inning in which they scored four runs. Laurier added on two more in the 4th and one in the 5th to cruise to a 7-0 victory.
The second game began much like the first as the Hawks jumped out to a 4-0 lead after two innings. It took Laurier three pitchers to navigate game two. Ian Filion was solid allowing only one run on three hits in five innings of work. Relievers Andrew Ziedins and Noah Ivanyi each pitched an inning to close out the game and seal the 8-1 victory for the Hawks. Laurier was aggressive on the base paths all game. They had four steals and consistently caught Queen's off guard by taking extra bases.
Defence was a big factor in both of Saturday's games. Laurier played solid defensively all day while the Gaels struggled in that respect accumulating nine errors on the day.
