OXFORD, Ohio - Sophomore lefthander Keith Weiser (Hamilton, Ohio) struck out a career-high 10 batters on Friday afternoon as the Miami University RedHawks (18-11) downed the Panthers of Birmingham-Southern College (20-10) by a score of 4-1. Weiser limited the Panthers to just five hits and improved his record to 4-0 on the year.
Miami broke a scoreless deadlock in the bottom half of the sixth inning with three runs off of Birmingham-Southern's Brandon Hynick. Senior John Slone (Cincinnati, Ohio) plated Miami's first run with a squeeze bunt that scored sophomore Ryne Robinson (Toledo, Ohio) from third. Senior Brian Canada's (Fishers, Ind.) infield single plated sophomore Brandon Hillier (Hinsdale, Ill.) from second to give the RedHawks a 2-0 lead before Canada himself scored Miami's third run on senior Paul Frietch's (Cincinnati, Ohio) single to right.
Junior shortstop Eric Radley (Hermitage, Tenn.) made it 4-0 for Miami with an RBI single in the bottom of the seventh. Senior Tyler Tabler (Cincinnati, Ohio) led off the inning with a single and was bunted to second by senior Michael Moljewski (Shelby Twp., Mich.) before scoring on Radley's single up the middle.
A pair of Miami errors in the top of the ninth inning led to an unearned run and spoiled Weiser's bid for his first shutout of the season.
The RedHawks banged out 11 hits and scored all four runs off of Hynick, whose record dropped to 5-2 on the season. Paul Jones relieved Hynick in the eighth inning and allowed one hit.

Robinson (2-for-4), Slone (2-for-3), Geoff Orr (Orland Park, Ill.) and Tabler (2-for-4) paced Miami offensively. Radley was sensational defensively, including a highlight-reel barehanded play with two outs in the eighth inning that stopped a Birmingham-Southern rally.
Miami and BSC play game two of their three-game non-conference series on Saturday afternoon with the first pitch slated for 1 p.m. Junior lefthander Graham Taylor (Villa Hills, Ky.) is slated to start on the mound for the RedHawks.
Notes: SR John Slone extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a single in the first inning ... SO Keith Weiser issued an intentional walk in the fourth inning that snapped Miami's streak of 30 consecutive innings without issuing a base on balls ... Weiser threw his second complete game of the season ... The game marked the first-ever meeting between Miami and BSC on the baseball diamond.s
