BASEBALL LOSES TWO CONFERENCE GAMES TO JUDSON    (3/23/04)

The baseball team hosted Judson College in a conference double header. The games were close, but the end result was not what the Trolls had hoped for as they lost both contest. The first game was a 3-4 loss in the 7th inning and the second game was a 1-3 loss. The team is now 2-4 for the season and 0-4 in the conference.

In the first game a two out single by Luke Post in the first inning drove in the first run of the game. With Grant Sikkema on the mound the Trolls held Judson without a hit or a run in the first 4 innings. That changed in the 5th inning as Judson had 4 hits and scored 5 runs. The Trolls answered with one run on back-to-back doubles by Adam McIntyre and Post in the bottom of the inning. Another run for the Trolls in the 6th inning tied the game at 3-3. Judson then put together 3 singles in a row to take a 7th inning 4-3 led. The Trolls got a runner on base in the bottom of the inning, but hit into a double play to end the game. 

The Trolls had their opportunities in game two as they had 9 hits and runners on base in the majority of the innings. A couple of fielding errors allowed Judson to get going in the 2nd inning and score 2 runs. The Trolls only run of the game came in the 3rd inning on a solo homer by Post. Judson scored one more run in the 4th inning. The Trolls could not close the gap and took the 1-3 loss.
