Senior right fielder Dan Melito broke the Baldwin-Wallace College school record for doubles in a career during yesterday’s 16–6 victory over Walsh University in North Canton.
Melito led off the fifth inning with a double to right–center field, bringing his career total to 37 and breaking the previous record of 36 held by Phil Stringer ’90, Joel Nichols ’96 and Pat Shannon ’03. His record-breaking double followed a three-run home run in the third inning that put the Yellow Jackets ahead 11–1. He finished the game with two of the Jackets’ 17 hits, four RBIs and a pair of runs scored.
Melito leads the Jackets with seven doubles so far this season. He led the team with ten doubles last year and 13 in 2004.
