Tennis Earns 6-3 Win Over Earlham

Wabash opened Wednesday afternoon with a 3-0 sweep of doubles action on the way to a 6-3 home victory over Earlham in men's tennis action.

Wade Miller and Daniel Delgado started the match with an 8-3 victory at number one doubles. A second 8-3 win by Ricky Ritter and Peter Gunderman at number two doubles proved to be such a popular score that teammates Evan Bayless and Ian Leonard repeated it at third doubles.

Miller took a straight sets 6-1, 6-0 win at fourth singles. Ritter won 6-1, 6-0 at number five singles, while Leonard picked up a 6-3, 6-0 win in the sixth flight.
