MARIETTA, Ohio – Junior Ryan Ducey went 2-for-3 with an RBI double for the JWU (Providence) baseball team in a 4-3 loss at Marietta Thursday afternoon at the Marietta / BSN SPORTS Invitational at Pioneer Park.

Senior Owen Davis and freshman Jeff Valdez Jimenez also drove in a run for the Wildcats (3-7), who saw junior Aidan Vining fan seven over 7.1 innings of work against the perennial powerhouse from the Midwest.

Jimenez plated junior Jack Obert in the first to stake the visitors to an early lead. In the second, Ducey doubled down the right field line to double the Wildcats lead before the Pioneers pushed across one in the fifth and two in the eighth to chase Vining from the game and grab a 3-2 lead.

Davis' RBI single in the ninth plated Ducey and tied the game at three. Marietta drew a bases-loaded walk in the ninth to snatch the victory, its seventh of 2025.

Vining allowed 14 hits and three runs to go with one walk. Senior Garrett Fusco did not allow a hit in 1.1 innings of relief work but was hurt by a pair of errors in the ninth which preceded the game-ended free pass.
