(DELAWARE, Ohio) — Tyler Wilson (Virginia) was perfect through 5 1/3 innings and allowed just two hits, but the Delaware Cows could not protect a 3-0 lead and fell 7-6 in ten innings Monday to the Columbus All-Americans at Littick Field.

Wilson worked a season-best six innings, tying a season-best with seven strikeouts. He retired the first 16 hitters he faced, yielding just a bloop single to right field and an infield single, but did not allow a run before exiting.

The Cows scored a pair of runs in the second, with Ed Jayjack (UNC-Greensboro) delivering a sac fly to score David Phillips (Texarkana), while an RBI basehit from Chris Bohannan (Louisiana Tech) brought home Tyler Burnett (Middle Tennessee).

Phillips hit a solo shot, his first of the season, to straightaway center in the third inning to stake the Cows to a 3-0 lead.

The game unraveled for Delaware in the eighth, though, as Columbus sent 10 hitters to the plate and scored six times. Four hits, two walks, an error and a wild pitch contributed to the turnaround.

But the Cows came right back in the bottom of the eighth, though, as the first four hitters reached on singles. Bohannan’s baseknock brought home Jayjack and Burnett, while later in the inning, Justin Riddell (Cincinnati) delivered a sac fly to center that scored Bohannan and tied the game at six.

After a scoreless ninth inning, Chris Lewis of the All-Americans hit a solo home run with two outs in the tenth that proved to be the winning margin.

Delaware pounded out a season-high 16 hits, compared to just eight for Columbus, but the Cows left 13 runners on base. Bohannan had four hits and three RBI, while Jamel Scott (Cincinnati) extended his hitting streak to six games with two hits. He’s batting 10-for-21 during the streak.

Wilson has now worked 12 consecutive scoreless innings, dating back over three starts, and now has recorded 32 strikeouts in just 24.2 innings pitched. He lowered his ERA to 1.46 on the summer.

(CELINA, Ohio) — After taking the first game of a doubleheader 4-3, the Delaware Cows held a 1-0 lead going into the fifth of the second game against Grand Lake but couldn’t hold on, losing 4-2 and settling for a split against the host Mariners Saturday.

The Cows jumped to a 2-0 lead in the first game behind an RBI groundout from David Phillips (Texarkana) and a Grand Lake error, with Logan Williams (Ole Miss) and Tyler Burnett (Middle Tennessee) scoring.
