Heartbreakers: Wright State Baseball Falls Short

Wright State baseball capped a gritty season with a dramatic heartbreaker: a walk-off loss to No. 2 Milwaukee in the championship game, 5-4, ending their run despite a dominant 11-5 win over No. 5 Oakland earlier in the weekend. They finished 27-28 overall but secured their eighth straight Horizon League title with a 17-7 league record. The Raiders battled back from a five-run first three innings against Oakland, fueled by JP Peltier’s bases-clearing triple and a strong bullpen. In the title game, they took a 3-2 lead in the top of the ninth thanks to Cam Gilkerson’s clutch two-run single — only to see Milwaukee’s Joey Spence crush a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to seal the win. Tough ending, but a season of heart and grit that earned them a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
