The College of Wooster put four runs on the board in the 6th inning to jump out to a 7-1 lead over Carthage College in the opening game of the 2009 NCAA Division 3 CWS.
The big blow came with the bases loaded. Bryan Kieffer took over for Mario Perez and served up a 2-run double to Sean Karpen on his first pitch. Karpen had already clubbed a solo home run in the 4th inning.
The Scots picked up four hits in the inning and now have 12 hits for the game. They were also aided by a Kieffer throwing error.
If the Red Men can't rally today, they'll play the loser of game 2 tomorrow morning at 10am and face elimination 24 hours into the tournament.
