FAIRBORN, Ohio — Mitch Wilson laced a go-ahead RBI double in his first at bat as a Maple Leaf as the Goshen College baseball team opened its season Saturday, losing 12-1 and 4-0 to Concordia University at Wright State University's Nischitz Stadium.

Wilson knocked in Colby Malson, who started the season by reaching on an error, to put the Maple Leafs up 1-0 before the Cardinals (4-2) took a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the inning.

Logan Sherman and Grant Steinborn each had two hits for Concordia in the opener and Blaine Milheim added a homer in the second inning. Milheim scored a game-high three times.

The Maple Leafs (0-2) struck out 9 Cardinals and allowed four earned runs in the first game. Relief pitcher Nick Caplinger got all three of his outs on strikes. Brighton Schofield and Wilson each reached base twice.

Concordia did most of its damage in the first inning of game two, opening the frame with a walk and two singles to load the bases. The Cardinals took a 2-0 lead on a double steal and a throwing error, then extended the margin on a run-scoring groundout.

Goshen brought the tying run to the plate in the third inning after hits by Malson and Bobby Garcia, but stranded Malson at third base with a double play. Concordia set the final margin on an Ethan Vosburg single in the fifth.

Vosburg was the only player on either team with multiple hits and Concordia's Vann Acker had the only extra-base knock, a double.

Steinborn took the pitching win after throwing five shutout innings and Tyson Kleinfelter threw two innings of relief for the Cardinals. Kyle Staelgraeve started for Goshen, followed by Kade Gorman and Kyle Kotecki out of the bullpen.

The second half of the weekend series was called off Sunday morning due to forecast winter weather; the doubleheader will be made up on Wednesday, April 3, at Goshen's Sarge Yoder Field.

Goshen is back in action Wednesday with a doubleheader at Trinity Christian College in Palos Heights, Illinois. First pitch is set for 1 p.m. EST.
