SEWANEE, Tenn. - For the first time all year, the Scots have lost back-to-back games after falling at Sewanee 5-2.
This is a rare occurrence for the team, as they last lost multiple games in a row from March 15 - 23 last year, when they lost four consecutive games.
Starting pitcher Kaden Wimsat was effective for the Scots on the mound, as he didn't give up any earned runs (but had three unearned runs score while pitching) and struck out six batters in seven innings pitched. Reliever Johnny Ruggerio Jr. pitched the eighth inning and gave up two earned runs on two hits.
MC committed four errors in the game, leading to unearned runs scored in the second and third innings, giving the Tigers a 3-0 advantage after three innings. Sewanee's only earned runs came in the bottom of the eighth on a double to right center field that plated runners from second and third.
Maryville's only runs in the game came in the top of the ninth on a
Colin Dunworth two-run home run that brought home
Jacob Johnston.
Reece Jordan and
Zach Devries would fly out in the next at-bats to end the chance at a comeback for the Scots. The team only had two hits on the day, with
Reece Jordan hitting a single in the top of the first inning, and then Dunworth's homer in the ninth.
The Scots, now 15-8, gear up to travel to Huntingdon for their first away conference series of the season as they take on the Hawks in a three-game series Friday and Saturday.
