BASEBALL LOSES ANOTHER CONFERENCE GAME   (4/15/04)

The Trolls tried to get their first conference win against Illinois Institute of Technology, but once again fell short.  The final of the game was 7-4 as they team is now 0-9 in the CCAC and 4-17 overall. 

During the first 3 innings of the game both teams were scoreless. IIT opened things up in the 4th inning as they put 2 runs across the plate. Behind a homerun in the 6th inning IIT stretched the gap to 4-0. A big hit in the 6th inning gave the opponent one more run. The Trolls came alive in the 7th inning to make the game interesting. Hits by Luke Post and Darren DeBoer set up Aaron Werkman for a RBI with a single. Mike Mercier then loaded the bases with a walk. Dan Herder cranked out a double to bring all 3 of those runners in and to tighten the game at 5-4. Unfortunately IIT was able to respond with 2 more runs in the 8th. The Trolls did not rally back and the game ended with the 7-4 score.

The team will play next on Saturday at Cardinal Stritch University (WI) in a double header starting at noon.
