Baseball Has Tough Time With Saint Xavier   (4/27/05)
Last week the baseball team went to extra innings with Saint Xavier; this week the game ended early. The Trolls were not successful at the plate and did not keep the Cougars contained early in the game. After seven innings of play the Trolls trailed by 10 runs, 10-0, and thus the game ended on the mercy rule. With the loss the team is now 13-17 overall and 5-9 in the conference. 

The Trolls did not have a stellar day at the plate as they had only 3 hits and struck out 14 times. Saint Xavier used a couple of good innings to make a difference in the game. In the first inning they had five hits, including three doubles, to give them 4 runs. Again in the 4th inning they exploded for another 5 hits for four more runs. They picked up the final two runs in the 6th inning to make it 10-0. 

The Trolls will play next in a double header at Calumet College of St. Joseph (IN) on Friday, April 29, at 4:00 pm.
