DEFIANCE, Ohio – Jack Wyman continues to swing a hot bat for the Albion College baseball team.
The senior pitcher/first baseman from Bloomfield Hills hit .700 (7-for-10) with three doubles and a solo homerun in the Sunday doubleheader at Defiance College.
Through 10 games this season, Wyman is hitting a team-best .409 (18-for-44). Eight of his hits have gone for extra bases, raising his slugging percentage to .705.
Defiance won both games, 6-3 and 11-7.
Albion is scheduled to celebrate its home opener Tuesday when Bluffton (Ohio) University visits Champions Stadium at Frank Joranko Field. The first pitch is set for 4:15 p.m.
Game One
Wyman started on the mound, yielding three runs on six hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out seven.
The Britons got a run back in the sixth. Colton Rydlewski drew a two-out walk and a pair of Defiance errors moved him over to third base. He scored on Edward Gietzen's single.
Albion was unable to get a shutdown inning after scoring, however, as Defiance plated a pair of runs with two out in the bottom half of the frame.
James Spilko produced Albion's other run, sending a double to the left-center gap to push Wyman across the plate.
Game Two

The host Yellow Jackets scored four times in the first, added a run in the second, two more in the third and one in the fourth to build an 8-2 lead.
