The Little Giants put the first run on the board in the top of the second inning. Mike Mack (Butler, IN/Eastside) and Bryson Renbarger (Converse, IN/Eastern) opened the inning with walks. After two flyballs to right field, freshman shortstop Joe Motuliak (Lafayette, IN/Jefferson) (photo right) drove in the first run of the game with a single to put Wabash in front 1-0. But Ferrum put five runs on the board in the bottom of the second, then scored one in the fifth, two in the sixth before adding four in the seventh and a final run in the eighth inning. The Little Giants scored one final time in the game when freshman third baseman Jared Martin (Rosedale, IN/Riverton Parke), the all-time leading home run hitter in Indiana high school history, blasted a shot over the right field fence for his first college home run.
Jake Knott (Lafayette, IN/Jefferson) had two singles for the Little Giants to raise his season average to .321.
Wabash is 2-5 for the season, 1-3 in Florida. The Little Giants will take Tuesday off before returning to action on Wednesday afternoon, playing Emory and Henry College in a double-header in Fort Myers.
