Dominant bullpen, late power surge leads baseball to midweek win

ORANGE, Calif. – The Chapman University baseball team pulled away late for an 8-2 midweek victory over visiting Bethesda. The Panthers improved to 16-12 behind three home runs and a superb bullpen effort.

The Panthers dominated the back end of the game with six unanswered runs to finish the game and a four hitless innings from the bullpen. Tyler Buxton, Hank Tobias, Matthew Kuromoto and Henry Chabot combined for the four hitless innings as the lineup went to work to break open a 2-2 tie.

A Nick Naccarato sacrifice fly in the sixth gave Chapman a 3-2 lead and AJ Anzai added to it with an RBI-double into right. In between, Tobias needed just four pitches for a 1-2-3 seventh inning. Back-to-back home runs from Trent Turquand and Anzai punctuated a four-run eighth before Chabot closed out the game.

Turquand was 3-for-4 on the night with a pair of RBIs and Anzai was 3-for-5 with two RBIs as well. Kai Osaka also hit a solo home run in the third. Luke Bradley tossed five solid innings, allowing a pair of runs on four hits and striking out three. Buxton earned the win after a hitless sixth – his second win of the season.

The Panthers take on Caltech in a three-game series this weekend. The SCIAC series starts at Caltech on Friday and moves to Hart Park for the Saturday doubleheader at 11 a.m.
