WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The Wheeling Jesuit baseball team were handed three straight losses on the road in a five-game series against #9 Atlantic Region ranked Winston-Salem State Rams.
 
WJU dropped the last three games of the series 2-16, 2-11, and 4-14 after game two of the series was rained out, forcing a double-header on Saturday, and a single 9-innigns of action on Sunday. The Cardinals finished the road-trip 0-4.
 
In game two (2-16 loss), the Cardinals jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning when freshman Dillon Sunnafrank sent a single into center field, driving in lead-off hitter Anthony Connacher for an RBI.
 
The Cardinals wouldn't score again till the top of the 6^th when Connacher scored again on a sacrifice fly to center from Patrick Ammar. WJU was still in with a shot at that point, trailing the Rams 6-2. Then, WSSU blew up for seven more runs in the bottom of the 6^th, and the Cards were whitewashed 16-2.
 
Jesuit used three pitchers, Josh Kernik, Michael Adams, and Nick Pelegreen. Only Pelegreen came out unscathed, closing out the last 2.2 innings and not giving up any runs.
 
The second game of the double header (2-11 loss) saw the Cardinal pitchers again get shelled for 11 runs off 13 hits as they moved through their rotation to get all throwers action early in the season. Ethan Weiss and Kyle Rees threw four innings a piece, with Weiss giving up seven runs, and Rees four.
 
The Cardinal batters were kept from scoring until the top of the 8^th inning when WSSU had already done 11 runs worth of damage. Adam Young got the Cardinals on the board with a 2-run RBI triple, bringing in Ammar and Joe San Fellipo for WJU's only two runs of the day.
 
WJU closed out the series on Sunday with another tough day at the office for the Cardinal pitchers in a 14-4 loss.
 
Ben Standiford threw five innings, giving up five runs in the process. Garret Sancomb relieved Standiford in the 6th, but the runs kept coming, with WSSU adding eight more before Sunnafrank closed the game out, giving up the final run.
 
Offensively, the Cardinals were first to get on the board in the 3^rd inning when a throwing error on a fielder's choice by WSSU brought in Tyler Kowalczyk for an unearned run. With Connacher and Chris Brake in scoring position, Sunnafrank flied out to center field and Connacher tagged up to make the score 2-0 off the RBI.
 
The rest of WJU's production with the bats came in the top of the 4^th when Adam Young hit a sacrifice fly for San Fellipo to score on. Later in the inning the Cardinals got two more back when Kowalczyk flied out on another sacrifice for Mitch Ludewig to score.
 
The Cardinals return to the diamond on Saturday 3/1 and Sunday 3/2 for a pair of double headers against West Virginia State on the road in Institute, W.Va.
