DAVENPORT, Fla. - The Ohio Dominican Panthers (6-9) baseball team closed out the Florida trip with a pair of high-scoring affairs.

Monday (W, 15-3 vs. Bloomfield - 7 innings)

• After coming up empty in the first inning, Ohio Dominican broke the 0-0 tie in the second inning. Drew Emerson opened the inning with a weird play to end up on third base. Emerson walked and a wild pitch allowed Emerson to get to second base. While rounding second base, Bloomfield's pitcher threw the ball past the base, getting Emerson to third base. CJ Dean plated Emerson with a sacrifice fly to center field. A double, hit by pitch and single loaded the bases but the lead remained 1-0.

• The Panthers got the two runs back in the fourth inning for a 5-2 lead. Peter Jelenic walked and Adams was hit by a pitch with two outs. Gianni Passarelli singled home Jelenic and Emerson doubled home Adams. 
• In the bottom of the fourth, the game was delayed for nearly seven hours due to weather. The game resumed after a long delay with a Sam Battles home run in the fifth inning for a 6-2 lead for ODU. 
• The seventh inning was a nine-run inning with only two hits for Ohio Dominican. Five walks, two hit batters and three wild pitches led to runs, including a grand slam by Jordan Daniels.
