EDWARDSVILLE, PA (April 2, 2021)- FDU Baseball traveled to Wilkes University on Friday afternoon, falling in a doubleheader, 7-6 (9 inn.) and 9-0.
 
Game 1- 7-6, L in extra innings
First-year DJ McGuinness started on the hill for the Devils.

Junior Tommy Moore got the scoring started for FDU, launching a two-run homerun in the top of the first inning to give the Devils a 2-0 lead. After Wilkes tied it in the second at two, the Devils struck again in the fourth. This time scoring four runs thanks to a two RBI double from junior DJ Gonnelli, an RBI single from first-year Tyrus Chippendale and a SAC fly RBI from senior Nate Peacock. That was all the scoring the Devils would do in the game, as Wilkes would add one in the fifth and three in the sixth to tie it at six.
