BASEBALL DEFEATED BY ILLINOIS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY   (4/27/04)

In a conference game the Trolls played at Illinois Institute of Technology. The Trolls had lost to this opponent earlier in the season and once again fell. The outcome of this game was 9-3. With the loss the team is now 9-21 for the season and 4-18 in the conference. 

The team had 10 hits for the game, but only picked up 3 runs. IIT beat the Trolls in both of those categories as they had 16 hits for 9 runs. The 3 runs for the team were spread over 3 innings. In the first inning Mike Mercier and Andrew Van Byssum singled to get on base. Eventually a walk brought one run in. Those two batters started the 5th inning in the same way and one scored on an error. In the 7th inning Aaron Werkman got on base with a walk. A couple of batters later Mercier singled for the 3rd time and brought in the run. The Trolls did not lead in the game as IIT scored at least one run in each of the first 6 innings.

The team's next outing is on Saturday, May 1, in a conference double header at Saint Xavier University at noon.
