Ketterman Homers Twice in Series-Opening Loss at Wofford

Wofford scored runs in five of its six innings to pull away for the win

Spartanburg, S.C.Zach Ketterman homered twice to score both of Western Carolina's runs and collect two of the team's six base hits, but the Catamounts were unable to slow the nation's top-scoring offense as Wofford claimed Friday's Southern Conference series opener 13-2 in seven innings at Russell C. King Field.
 
Game two of the series is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Saturday afternoon. Coverage of the game is available through live stats online at CatamountSports.com. Sunday's series finale is set for 1 p.m. and will be broadcast on ESPN+ (paid subscription required).
 
Ketterman (2-for-3) and Jack Spyke (2-for-2) both tallied multi-hit games with Ketterman reaching double-digit home runs on the season with his pair of solo shots and Spyke singling in the infield twice. Spyke reached a third time in the loss by drawing a walk. Nate Stocum (1-for-3) and Mason Holton (1-for-3) added singles for the Catamounts.

Marshall Toole drove in six of Wofford's 13 runs in a 3-for-4 effort with a solo home run and a triple to lead the way for the Terriers. Brice Martinez (2-for-4) doubled, and Tyler Hare (2-for-2) reached three times with a walk and two runs scored for the Terriers.
 
WCU (21-18, 6-7 SoCon) jumped in front in the top of the first inning on the first of Ketterman's two home runs. However, a pair of solo homers in the home half by the Terriers handed the home squad a lead it would never relinquish.
 
Wofford (28-11, 8-4 SoCon) added two in the second, a solo marker in the third, three in the fourth, and a five-run fifth inning to stake itself to a 13-1 lead through five complete. Ketterman homered in the sixth inning to ultimately provide the final tally.
 
Catamount starter Gavin Mortenson (2-4) was saddled with the loss, surrendering eight runs on nine hits over three innings with four strikeouts. Four relievers combined to toss the remaining three innings with Carson Lowder recording a strikeout in an inning of work. Shane Huntsberger inherited a bases-loaded jam but was able to retire the two batters he faced in keeping Wofford off the scoreboard in the sixth inning.
 
Wofford starter Zac Cowen (6-1) struck out seven while scattering six hits with the two home runs allowed to Ketterman over his seven-inning victory.
