BASEBALL ENDS SEASON WITH LOSSES TO UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO  (5/8/04)

The baseball season came to a close as the Trolls lost (10-0, 17-7) both games of a double header to the University of Chicago. With these non-conference losses the team wraps up their season with a final record of 9-25. The Trolls did not advance to post-season play-offs. 

A rocky 3rd inning in the first game was enough to do the Trolls in. Trailing 2-0 at that point the team gave up 8 runs in that 3rd inning. Meanwhile the Trolls managed five hits but could not get the runners in scoring positions. The 10-0 lead after 5 innings was enough to end the game on the mercy rule. 

In the second game the there was more scoring by the Trolls. Unfortunately there was also more scoring by the opponent. The University of Chicago picked up 4 runs in the first and 2 runs in the 2nd. The Trolls were able to find runs here and there as they scored in 6 different innings, but they could not get a rally going. One of the runs came as a solo homer by Kale Hoyt in the 4th inning.  The opponent started strong and finished strong as they picked up 11 runs in the final two innings for the large margin victory. 

The Trolls bid farewell to and thank four year player Luke Post and congratulate Kale Hoyt on being named All-Conference Honorable Mention.
