EASTLAKE, OHIO - Nick Struble was 3-for-3 with a run and two RBI, and Austin Kreyenhagen scattered four hits in six innings, to lead second-seeded and #4 Rowan to an 8-1 win over third-seeded and #6 Salisbury on Day #2 of the 2026 NCAA Division III World Series. Rowan (38-6) remains alive and will play the loser of tonight's Adrian vs. Endicott game on Sunday at 3 p.m. while Salisbury is eliminated from the tournament.
 
Austin Kreyenhagen (9-1) earned the victory, allowing only four hits and one run in 6.0 innings, while striking out eight. Evan Brasberger and Nick Watson closed out the final three innings in the victory.
 
Mason Dorsey went 2-for-4 with two RBI and Damon Suriani was 2-for-4 and scored a run. Brayden Davis was also 2-for-4 and scored three times, while hitting the only home run in the game.
 
Rowan led the entire way, taking a 2-0 lead in its first at-bat, as Suriani reached base on a fielder's choice and eventually scored on a sacrifice fly by Brett Chiesa. Davis doubled and scored when Struble singled up the middle.
 
Salisbury answered with one in the third when the Sea Gulls loaded the bases and Jay Watson drew a walk with two outs. Kreyenhagen was able to get the final out and the Profs held a 2-1 lead.
 
The Profs added to the total in the bottom of the third when Davis hit a solo home run, his 16th of the year for a 3-1 Rowan lead.
 
The fifth inning was the Profs' big one of the day, with five runs on three hits and two errors. Suriani led off with a single and then the Profs started filling the bases. Struble hit a bases-loaded single to score Davis, who reached on a fielder's choice. Ian Murphy scored on a wild pitch and Struble and Joey Bogart crossed the plate on a two-run double by Dorsey.
 
The Profs' 38 victories match the most by a Rowan team in the 12 years under head coach Mike Dickson as the 2025 squad went 38-12.
 
In other action earlier today, #1 Denison eliminated Johns Hopkins, 8-0 and Baldwin-Wallace suffered its first loss by dropping a 7-6 decision to East Texas Baptist, which is 2-0 in the tournament thus far.
