WSC Drops Florida Spring Trip Opener at Embry-Riddle

The Wayne State College (WSC) baseball team faced a challenging start to their Florida Spring trip, dropping the opener against Embry-Riddle University with a final score of 11-3. The game, held at Embry-Riddle's home field in Daytona Beach, showcased the Eagles' strong performance against the visiting Wildcats.

Embry-Riddle took an early lead, scoring runs in the first and second innings. Despite efforts from WSC's pitcher, the Eagles' offense proved too strong, with key hits and strategic plays leading to their victory. The Wildcats managed to score three runs in the later innings, but it wasn't enough to close the gap.

Key players for WSC included sophomore infielder Alex Schmidt, who contributed with a double and an RBI, and junior pitcher Mark Thompson, who pitched for five innings. On the Embry-Riddle side, standout performances came from senior outfielder Jake Williams, who hit a home run, and junior pitcher Chris Lee, who effectively shut down WSC's batting lineup.

The loss marks the beginning of WSC's spring trip, where they aim to gain valuable experience and improve their game before the regular season. The team is scheduled to play several more games during their stay in Florida, looking to bounce back from this opening defeat.
