Spartans End Season on High Note with 11-10 Win at John Carroll

The Case Western Reserve University baseball team ended its 2026 season with an 11-10 win at John Carroll University in University Heights, Ohio, on Sunday afternoon.

The Spartans won their final three games of the season to finish the year with a 20-19 overall record, while the Blue Streaks dropped to 21-16 with the setback, the team's fourth-straight loss.

Stats and Standouts

  • The Spartans finished the game with 15 hits, including seven for extra bases.

  • Sophomore Jeff Radinsky pitched an inning and two-thirds in relief, allowing a run on a hit and a walk, and picked up the win, improving to 2-1 on the year.

  • Sophomore Ayush Shetty pitched the final inning and two-thirds, giving up a run on four hits with a strikeout to secure his third save of the campaign.

  • Senior Sean Donahue was three-for-five in the game with a triple, two runs, three RBIs, and a walk.

  • First-year Jaxon Knutson added a three-for-four day at the plate with two runs and an RBI.

  • First-year James O'Connor finished the contest two-for-four with two doubles and two stolen bases, while scoring one run and driving in a run.

Highlights & Scoring Recap

  • CWRU took a lead in the top of the first when Donahue led the inning off with a triple and scored on a two-out double by O'Connor.

  • John Carroll answered with three runs in the bottom of the first to take a two-run lead.

  • The Spartans had a quick response in the top of the second inning to take the lead back. Knutson singled with one out, moved to second on a two-out single by first-year Elijah Sledge, and scored on a base hit by Donahue. Graduate student Eli Westrick followed with a two-run double, scoring both Sledge and Donahue to put CWRU in front 4-3.

  • In the top of the third, senior Matt Trout doubled with one out and scored a batter later on a base hit by junior Nate Arterburn to give the Spartans a 5-3 advantage.

  • The Blue Streaks would go on to take the lead back with three runs in the bottom of the third and one in the fourth to go ahead 7-5.

  • Arterburn doubled with two outs in the fifth and came around to score on a run-scoring single from Knutson.

  • First-year Collin Pool was hit by a pitch to start the sixth, advanced to second on a balk, and scored on a double by Sledge to tie the game at 7-7.

  • After John Carroll scored in the bottom of the frame to take a one-run lead back, O'Connor opened the seventh with a double and scored on a base hit by Trout to tie the game again, and after loading the bases, Pool put the Spartans back in front with a sacrifice fly. Donahue added a two-run single later in the frame to give CWRU an 11-8 advantage.

  • John Carroll scored a run in the eighth and ninth innings, cutting the Spartans' lead to a run, but Shetty left the potential game-tying and winning runs on base to lock down the win for CWRU.
