ORANGE, Calif. – Chapman baseball split a doubleheader with an 8-3 game one loss and a 10-0 seven-inning game two win, losing the weekend series to the Redlands Bulldogs.

Game 1 – L, 8-3

The Panthers stranded 12 runners on base as they struggled to score after the second inning. Chapman led 3-2 after the bottom of the second when Kai Osaka and Trent Turquand hit back-to-back RBI singles. 

A two-run homer, the Bulldogs' second of the game, in the top of the third quickly erased the Chapman lead, and the Panthers failed to regain it.

Brandon Menzel earned his first loss of the season with six innings and five earned runs. Austin Dudas posted a 3-for-5 performance at the dish to lead the charge.

Game 2 – 10-0, W (7 Innings)

It was a Graham Stogner show as the right-hander spun a seven-inning complete game, allowing one hit. 

Chapman bounced out to a quick 3-0 lead after three innings. The Panthers loaded the bases with no outs in the first, but the only run in the frame came on an AJ Anzai sac fly.

They added two more in the third as a two-out rally, which started off with a Kai Osaka infield single, plated two. Trent Turquand followed Osaka with a double to the right-field corner. The very next batter, Anzai ripped an RBI single to center.

Stogner was able to work out of self-inflicted damage in the fourth, stifling the Bulldogs with a strikeout and ground out after a pair of walks. In the bottom half, Matt Campopiano added an RBI-ground-rule double to push the Panther lead to four.

Chapman's offense exploded for six runs in the sixth and seventh; a Josh Phillips two-run bomb started the scoring, and a four-run seventh ended the game. The Panthers tallied runs on three singles and a bases-loaded walk. Dudas notched the game-winner, a squibber to second that he beat out.

Every Panther in the starting lineup recorded at least one hit. 

With the split, Chapman now sits at 13-10 overall and 5-4 in SCIAC play. They'll take on Occidental in a series next weekend.
